Update (Wednesday, September 12th): The conference is over but the memories remain! This has been an amazing few days and we are humbled, honored, and grateful to have you at our conference. We sincerely thank you for coming, and we hope you were able to learn something new, meet some old and new friends, and that you’ve had a good time after all. Thank you.
We will be publishing the slides and videos as soon as we have them all in. Want to stay updated? Follow on Twitter.
SmashingConf is a friendly, inclusive event which is focused on real-world problems and solutions. 2 days, 1 track, 14 speakers, 300–400 attendees and a bunch of hands-on workshops.
Our speakers rarely show slides: they show how they work — their setup, techniques and shortcuts for getting work done in live interactive sessions. So expect everything from refactoring and debugging to sketching and redesign, live.
SmashingConf is focused on front-end and UX, but it covers everything web, be it interface design or machine learning. That means a packed bundle of diverse, actionable insights for your work.
