If you’ve always wanted to attend JSCamp Barcelona, but have difficulty attending the conference this is your chance!
A conference like JSCamp represents an opportunity for people from all over the tech community to come together and explore the challenges faced by developers worldwide. The JSCamp team truly believes the value of the conversation increases when a wide range of points of views are represented. But, the average cost of a conference ticket can create a barrier to entry for some and it is critical to breakdown those barriers for groups that have been excluded from tech and the open source community. We want to make sure that everyone is able to participate.
If we want a better future for the web, we need everybody.
JSCamp aims to become known as an inclusive, diverse event, with a welcoming atmosphere for all, a broad range of topics and people from various backgrounds participating in it. We want our conference and community to include, promote, support and encourage diversity, as we believe that a more diverse audience makes for a better event and community experience.
Building a better web comes a variety of people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, abilities, age, religion, sexual orientation, and economic or social classes.
That is why JSCamp Barcelona has organized a Diversity Scholarship Program to make tickets available on an individual basis to help you, people from underrepresented groups in technology, who otherwise could not take part in it, attend our international JavaScript and Web conference.
Thanks to the incredible support of the diversity sponsors, like npm Inc. and Mozilla, 12% of our attendees could join us in our 2018 edition via our Diversity Program. This year, we´re running our Diversity Program, for the second time in a row and we hope to bring even more attendees to our conference in this way.
If you’ve always wanted to attend JSCamp Barcelona, but have difficulty attending the conference due to lack of money or resources, this is your chance! The Scholarship Program was made for you. We hope our program enables you to join us and contribute to our conversation.

Privacy
At JSCamp we respect your privacy. We guarantee that the applicant’s privacy, details, and answers remain protected at all times, as the JSCamp conference is determined to provide a safe environment for all attendees. Your personal data are collected and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Applicant details and submission information will be shared exclusively with JSCamp organizers. Diversity partners will not have access to applicant information.
Diversity Partners
We are currently looking for various organizations to provide access to relevant groups. If your group or organization would like to be included in this program, please contact us.
Help us to make an impact, as we’d love to be able to offer more scholarships this year. Granting diversity scholarships tickets are made possible thanks to companies, committed to diversity and inclusion, that contribute as Diversity partners.
Diversity Sponsorship is not meant as money for a party, nor for a fancy catering, or a nice booth. Instead, it is a chance for someone to attend the conference, who otherwise couldn´t.
This ticket fund will be the sole support of JSCamp´s 2019 Diversity Scholarship Program. Your consideration and contribution to helping our community will be recognized. If you or your company would be interested in sponsoring a scholarship or have any question about our Diversity Scholarship Program, feel free to contact us hello@jscamp.tech or via Twitter at @JSCamp.
