About SmashingConf Live

With SmashingConf Live, we bring all the valuable bits and pieces of a conference to your fingertips. That means practical sessions on front-end & UX, easy access to speakers and a friendly, approachable community.

Meet a friendly global community, get together and learn from each other.

That’s just the beginning though. In interactive sessions you’ll be taking the driver's seat and shaping sessions with speakers — live, as they are happening. We’ve also set aside enough time for you to ask your questions in a dedicated fireside chat with speakers and invited guests.

You might not be able to take all notes in time, but the community is here to support you, with collaborative note-taking.

Not enough? You can also wander between discussion zones with mystery guests, meet old and new friends around the world, crack design & coding challenges, and even ask experts for a live audit of your very own website or app. That’s SmashingConf Live.

Our SmashingConf resident, DJ Tobi — smashing since... forever!
