2. Upcoming Web Design Events
So many new techniques crop up over a year, that keeping up to
date can be quite challenging, especially with the usual workload
Web developers have on their plates.
Web design and development conferences and workshops. These
events not only deliver a huge load of information in a short period
of time, they’re also great for networking with like-minded
professionals.
This post covers events taking place in about a eight-month
timeframe up to late October 2013. These conferences take us
through a good part of the year, so keep a lookout for our next
issue toward the end of the year.
There is no way for us to include every possible event, so you are
more than welcome to help us out and provide a comment to an
upcoming event that you feel would be of interest to Smashing
Magazine’s readers. The list is quite lengthy, so let’s dive in.
