Angular Spring Camp 2026

Reactive Forms = power + boilerplate. Template-driven = simplicity – control. What if you didn’t have to choose?
Signal Forms bring a fresh, signal-based approach to form management in Angular: type-safe, reactive, and radically simple. No more sprawling FormGroup declarations. No more manual subscriptions. No more choosing between control and developer experience.
In this talk, we’ll explore how Signal Forms rethinks the way we build and manage forms. You’ll see how signals eliminate the friction we’ve accepted for years, replacing it with code that’s easier to read, easier to test, and for the first time in Angular forms history actually fun to write.

When I started using Angular in 2018, most architectural "rules" were already set in stone: Smart vs. Dumb components, isolated domains, and shared modules.
For years, these patterns have stood the test of time. But do they fit the simplicity of Modern Angular?
In this talk, we will put these patterns on trial. We will analyze where the classic approaches hold us back and where they still add value.
Then, we will look forward. We will discuss how Modern Angular enables new, simplified patterns, draw comparisons with how other frameworks handle state and composition, and review the tools that support this shift. Join me for a refreshing take on how to structure your next application

Zone.js has shaped Angular’s change detection for years - but that era is ending. In this talk we’ll trace the evolution of Angular’s CD mechanisms, explore what zoneless mode changes (and what it doesn’t) - along with the performance wins that come with it.

As Angular applications grow, our state management often follows one of two paths: a bloated, boilerplate-heavy global store or a complicated "God Component" managing dozens of RxJS streams or reactive signals. When you add complex requirements—like multi-layered filters, dynamic UI "pills," and bi-directional URL synchronization—the cracks in these traditional patterns begin to show.
In this talk, we will explore a fundamental shift in architecture: Atomic State Patterns.
By leveraging the power of Angular Signals, we can move away from monolithic state objects and toward decentralized, high-performance "atoms" of logic. We will live-architect a real-world filtering system, demonstrating how to:
Deconstruct the Monolith: Break down complex filter states into independent, composable Signal units.
Master the URL Bridge: Create a "Source of Truth" where the URL and local UI state are perfectly synced without race conditions.
Harness Derived State: Use computed() signals to automatically generate UI elements like "Filter Pills" without manual subscription management.
Stop fighting your state. Start composing it.

While tools like Jasmine, Karma, and Jest were always there when we needed them for testing our Angular apps, it's time to move on. In this talk, we'll revisit the battle scars they left behind, and explore how Vitest isn't just trendier — it's the result of hard-earned lessons in speed, reliability, and developer experience.
You'll leave with:
A sense of closure for the old stack.
A tour of the modern features Vitest brings to the table.
Vitest migration recipes.
Clarity on “Partial” vs. “Full” Browser Mode.
The anatomy of a maintainable test: Fakes, Object Mothers, and patterns that future-proof your specs.
Zoneless-ready time travel: replacing fakeAsync.

Come for the nostalgia. Stay for the clarity. Leave ready to cook.

You've written (click) hundreds of times. But have you ever wondered what's actually happening behind the scenes? Angular's event system has a hidden layer — one that lets you do things most developers don't even know are possible. In this talk, we'll pull back the curtain, explore how it all works under the hood, and see how to apply this magic directly in your real-world projects.

AI is reshaping the web, and the Angular team is at the forefront of this shift. No specific spoilers yet, but you can expect a look at what’s next for Angular developers in an AI-driven world.
