HTML5velden

HTML5velden is a term used in several Nordic tech communities to describe a series of informal evening events focused on HTML5 and related web technologies. It is not a single organization; rather, it denotes locally organized meetups in which developers share knowledge rather than recruit.

Format: short talks (often 15–25 minutes), live demos, and a brief Q&A. Lightning talks may be included. Topics include HTML5 APIs, CSS3, JavaScript, accessibility, performance, offline storage, multimedia, and browser compatibility. Presentations emphasize practical, real-world use cases.

Venues are typically universities, coworking spaces, or tech hubs, with events often sponsored by local groups or companies. Attendance is usually open to anyone with an interest in web development, and many events are free or low-cost.

Impact and goals: to foster knowledge sharing, networking, and community building among web developers, designers, and students. HTML5velden provides an accessible forum for beginners and a venue for seasoned practitioners to discuss evolving standards and tools.
