In 2026, the event formerly announced as OpenJS Summit at RenderATL will officially become Node.js Interactive, returning as a dedicated experience inside RenderATL 2026.

Node.js Interactive at RenderATL will focus on practical technical content for engineers working across the modern JavaScript stack. Programming will include topics such as:

Node.js runtime performance
Security and supply chain resilience
AI enabled developer tooling
JavaScript infrastructure at scale
Open source sustainability
Platform engineering and backend systems
Real world production lessons from maintainers and engineering teams

The event is designed for:

Node.js developers
OpenJS project maintainers and contributors
Platform and infrastructure engineers
Senior technical leaders
Teams building production systems with JavaScript and Node.js

RenderATL’s format also creates something unique. Rather than existing as a standalone conference isolated from the broader developer world, Node.js Interactive will sit alongside thousands of engineers, creators, and open source contributors attending the larger event.
