Hey all! 

A couple months ago, I shared [Byteconf React](https://dev.to/imkmf/a-developer-conference-that-anyone-in-the-world-can-attend-dd3), a free React conference, with the dev.to community. I'm super excited to be sharing our next big event: **Byteconf React Native, taking place on December 14th, 2018**.

Byteconf conferences are streamed on Twitch, and are free to attend. Similarly dev.to, we're trying to build a place where developers can learn and grow in their skills and careers! (BTW, I'm a big fan of dev.to - hi Ben and Jess! 👋👋)

Byteconf React Native will bring six (!) incredible speakers from around the world together to chat about things like, of course, React Native, but also tools like GraphQL and AWS Amplify, as well as explorations into AR/VR, machine learning, and more. It's a fun lineup of talks at a variety of experience levels: whether you're a seasoned React Native developer, or haven't yet written a single line of RN code, we'd love to have you attend.

**Byteconf conferences are always free and streamed online**, [via our Twitch](https://www.byteconf.com/s/twitch). We'll make the videos available on [our YouTube channel](https://www.byteconf.com/s/youtube) as well: be sure to follow us there!

Now it's time to introduce our speakers–make sure to follow them on Twitter, GitHub, etc: I've already had the pleasure of chatting with them over the last couple weeks about their talks and I'm thrilled to be working with them.

[**Gant Laborde**](https://twitter.com/GantLaborde) will give us the "why" and the "how" of writing machine learning on the go with React Native, with his talk **Cage Against the Machine**.
