What is Hyvä Developers Paradise?

It is exactly what it sounds like: the perfect environment for Hyvä and Magento developers to get together, minus the suits and the sales pitches. 🌴

Originally started as a legendary event in the Magento ecosystem, we’ve brought it back to give the community a place to reconnect. It’s a "non-conference" focused on high-level technical sessions, deep-dive workshops, and genuine face-to-face time with the people building the future of the frontend.

Expect less "corporate slide deck" and more "problem-solving over a cold drink."

Whether we’re talking about the latest in Alpine.js or the future of Hyvä Commerce, the goal is the same: to share knowledge, spark inspiration, and enjoy the sun with the people who make eCommerce happen. Find out more about the agenda here.
