Front-End Design Conference Preview

frontendconf2Giovanni, Gene and I will be going to the Front-End Design Conference next weekend thanks to organizer, Dan Denney. Dan and his wife have done a great job putting all of this together with a fun website and great content. We’re both really excited about a lot of aspects of this conference. First of all, I really love that it’s an all female speaker line-up! As a female in this biz it’s going to be exciting to see some of the most talented web ladies all in one place.

This conference also promises to be very social with an open format of events leading to easy discussion and meeting other folks. Let us know if you’re going also and we’ll meet up!

Front-End Conf was created for anyone interested in front-end design to spend a day learning and hanging out with a bunch of like-minded peeps. The topics are intended to cover as much of the spectrum of front-end design that we can squeeze into a single day.

    I’d like to know if anyone knows about a meet-up the night before this on Thursday.. let me know because I haven’t heard anything yet!

    Otherwise we’ll be organizing our own – who’s down?
