You probably know the drill: 2 days, 1 single track, 13 speakers. The conference will start around 9:30AM and we’ll finish around 5PM on the second conference day. We’ll be hosting our (in)famous side events on October 19, the day before the conference, so it might be worth to arrive in the morning before it all starts. You know, to settle in and stuff.
Want to stay updated on the latest speakers and talk topics, why not follow us on Twitter?
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.
The night before the conference kicks off, we’re hosting a warm-up event with drinks and talks from your fellow attendees. We hope you’ll join us to connect ahead of the main event!
Coding HTML emails is a beast of its own, often perceived as relying solely on outdated practices. And for a good reason, email client quirks can make even the most clever front-end developer crazy. Emails are still part of your user's journey, from commercial newsletters to transactional emails.
The first step to thinking like an email geek is to understand how email clients change our code and why this happens. From technical and security constraints to user experience enhancements, every quirk is there for a reason.
Those constraints then allow email geeks to invent new ways to use HTML and CSS. From building responsive layouts without media queries to creating interactive emails without any JavaScript—"Life finds a way" to quote my favorite mathematician.

Since last year, Shopify launched in 18 new languages. In this talk, you’ll gain insight about how international is forcing us to fundamentally shift our way of thinking. In the same way mobile disrupted a once desktop-only internet, international is disrupting the way we think about commerce.
Learn about the UX principles and tooling we’re using to take on meaty challenges to drive forward a large scale product that was previously only supported in English.
