  It was going to be, but they didn't have enough minorities and woman giving talks, so they cancelled it. Looks like they deleted the announcment, but here is an old reddit post where people are talking about it. https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/6f8u2s/githubs_electronconf_postponed_because_all_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/6f8u2s/githubs_...

    Surreal. I guess the good news is that this level of dysfunction should take care of the other Electron issues all by itself if we just wait a little while.

    GitHub is just scared they're going to have PR problems because of the 2014-2016 lawsuit. Hopefully Microsoft can fix GitHub's broken mentality towards gender inclusiveness.

  yeah, but it was postponed because the speakers were all men.
