Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Conference casual
React Summit US is a developer conference, so dress is casual: jeans, sneakers and a hoodie are common. Bring a layer because session rooms and the museum campus can run cool.
Tipping
US restaurants and bars expect 18-20% tips on the pre-tax bill; counter-service cafes often show a tip screen. Rideshare apps prompt for a tip after the ride.
Cross-Hudson timing
If you stay in Manhattan, budget extra time for PATH queues and the final light-rail or taxi leg to Liberty Science Center, especially on weekday mornings.
Transit payment
Use contactless cards or the NJ Transit app for light rail and bus; PATH accepts contactless at turnstiles. Keep a backup card because foreign cards occasionally fail at kiosks.
Lunch and coffee
The venue area is not a dense restaurant district, so plan lunch around the conference schedule or bring snacks. Jersey City waterfront cafes are busier at peak lunch.
Language and currency
Sessions are in English and prices are in US dollars. Cards are widely accepted, but carry a little cash for small vendors and tips.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- React Server Components (RSC)
- A React rendering model where components execute on the server and send a serialised payload to the client, reducing the JavaScript shipped to the browser and allowing direct server-side data access.
- Client Component
- A React component that runs in the browser and can use state, effects and event handlers. In frameworks that support RSC, client components are marked with the use client directive.
- Hydration
- The process where React attaches event handlers and state to server-rendered HTML in the browser. Hydration mismatches occur when server and client output differ.
- Suspense boundary
- A React boundary that shows fallback UI while async work, such as data loading or code splitting, completes. Suspense is central to streaming and concurrent rendering patterns.
- Concurrent Rendering
- React's interruptible rendering model that lets urgent updates, such as typing, take priority over slower transitions and background work.
- Server Actions
- Functions that are called from client components but execute on the server, commonly used for form submissions and data mutations in React meta-frameworks.
- Streaming SSR
- Server-side rendering that sends HTML to the browser progressively instead of waiting for the full page. It improves perceived load time and works with Suspense boundaries.
- Islands architecture
- A pattern where most of a page is static HTML and only selected interactive regions are hydrated with JavaScript, reducing client-side work for content-heavy sites.
- Signals
- Fine-grained reactive primitives that track dependencies and update only the parts of the UI that read a changed value. Several JavaScript state libraries use signals to avoid broad re-renders.
- Core Web Vitals
- Google's user-experience metrics for loading, interactivity and visual stability, commonly reported as LCP, INP and CLS. React teams use them to prioritise performance work.
- Meta-framework
- A framework built on top of React that adds routing, data loading, rendering modes and build tooling. Next.js is the most widely referenced example in React Summit sessions.
- Design system
- A shared set of components, design tokens and usage rules that keeps product interfaces consistent. React design systems often ship as versioned component libraries.
- Memoization
- Caching the result of a calculation or component render with APIs such as useMemo, useCallback and React.memo so React can skip unnecessary work.
- Edge runtime
- A server execution environment distributed close to users. React meta-frameworks may target edge runtimes for low-latency rendering and personalisation.
