About
HalfStack Phoenix is a compact, single-track web and JavaScript conference from Open Web Conferences, the team behind the wider HalfStack series. The programme centres on JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js and frontend craft, and it is aimed at working web developers who prefer candid technical talks over polished product marketing, with the organisers explicitly ruling out vendor pitches. The 2027 edition takes place on 5 February 2027 at The Majestic Theater in Gilbert, in the Phoenix metropolitan area of Arizona. It is an in-person, one-day event built around a crowd of roughly 160 web and JS practitioners, which keeps the room small enough for real conversation. Each HalfStack day features between eight and twelve sessions, mixing local presenters with visiting speakers, and the 2027 lineup is still to be announced. Beyond the main sessions, attendees can sign up on the day for two-to-three-minute lightning talks on a first-come, first-served basis. Food and drinks are included, and the day closes with an afterparty featuring a JavaScript pub quiz, karaoke and a retro tech movie. For the Arizona developer scene, the event offers a rare, informal meeting point where frontend engineers can swap ideas and build local connections.

Planning your trip to Phoenix
Contains sponsored linksAlthough it is listed under Phoenix, HalfStack Phoenix on 5 February 2027 actually takes place at the Majestic Theater in Gilbert, a fast-growing town in the southeast Valley. Early February is peak visitor season in Arizona for good reason: dry, sunny days, typically around 20°C, with chilly desert evenings. Gilbert's walkable Heritage District offers restaurants and bars close together, which suits a one-day, 160-person event that ends with a JS pub quiz, karaoke and a retro tech movie.
Getting there & around
Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX) is the main gateway, roughly 30–40 minutes' drive from Gilbert depending on traffic. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA), served mainly by low-cost carriers, is closer to Gilbert at around 20–25 minutes. Public transit to Gilbert is limited, so most visitors rent a car or use ride-hailing. Staying near the venue avoids long evening drives after the afterparty.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Mobile coverage across the Phoenix metro area is good, and you will lean on it heavily for ride-hailing and maps in a car-oriented region. Setting up an eSIM before departure keeps you connected from the moment you land. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Gilbert Heritage District. The blocks around the historic water tower are Gilbert's social centre, packed with restaurants, patios and coffee spots. Ideal for dinner the night before or lunch nearby; an hour or two is plenty. February evenings cool quickly, so bring a layer for outdoor seating.
Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch. A free wetland preserve in Gilbert with trails around ponds that attract many bird species, plus a public observatory run by a local astronomy club on some evenings. A relaxed 1–2 hour walk, best in the early morning when wildlife is most active.
Desert Botanical Garden. In Papago Park, about 30–40 minutes' drive from Gilbert, this garden showcases cacti and desert plants along easy paved loops. February's mild weather makes it a comfortable visit; allow two to three hours and consider a timed ticket in high season. Tickets on Tiqets →
Usery Mountain Regional Park. For a short desert hike, Usery Mountain in the east Valley offers well-marked trails with saguaro views, roughly 30 minutes' drive from Gilbert. Go in the morning, carry water even in winter, and plan a half-day including the drive.
Good to know
Is HalfStack Phoenix actually in Phoenix?
No, the venue is the Majestic Theater in Gilbert, Arizona, a suburb in the southeast Phoenix metro area. Plan your hotel and transport around Gilbert rather than downtown Phoenix.
Do I need a car?
It is strongly recommended. Public transit to Gilbert is limited, so a rental car or ride-hailing is the practical way to reach the venue from either airport.
What is the weather like in early February?
Usually dry and sunny with daytime highs around 20°C, but evenings can drop to single digits, so pack a jacket.
