Our Organization 🏛️
Understanding the structure behind ZurichJS and our commitment to the Swiss JavaScript community
Swiss JavaScript Group
ZurichJS operates under the Swiss JavaScript Group, a registered non-profit association (Verein) in Switzerland. This legal structure ensures our commitment to fostering JavaScript communities across Switzerland while maintaining transparency and accountability to our members and the broader developer community.
The Swiss JavaScript Group serves as the umbrella organization for JavaScript meetups and events throughout Switzerland, with ZurichJS being our flagship community in the Zurich area. This structure allows us to:
- Operate as a recognized non-profit organization under Swiss law
- Maintain transparent financial operations and governance
- Collaborate with other JavaScript communities across Switzerland
- Provide legal protection and proper insurance for our events
- Ensure compliance with Swiss regulations and data protection laws
Non-Profit Commitment
As a non-profit association, our primary mission is to serve the JavaScript community, not to generate profit. All revenue from events and sponsorships goes directly back into improving our community offerings, securing better venues, bringing in top-tier speakers, and expanding our reach across Switzerland.
This commitment ensures that ZurichJS remains accessible, community-focused, and dedicated to advancing JavaScript education and networking opportunities for developers at all levels.
