We’re aflutter to announce the official Dart conference in Los Angeles on January 23-24, 2018. The event will be even bigger and better than last year, with exciting talks about Dart 2.0, Flutter, Dart Dev Compiler, AngularDart, and much more.


We’re moving the annual conference from October to January for two reasons:

Lots of new things are coming to Dart in the new year.Place: Google Los Angeles
Time: January 23-24, 2018

The event will be live-streamed and sessions will be recorded. Ask questions at dartconf-questions@googlegroups.com.
