As the effects of COVID-19 are still so wide-reaching throughout the world, Smashing cannot proceed with the in-person events in 2020. However, we’re thrilled to present the Austin conference online, combined with the NYC programming on October 13–14, and we’d love to see you there!
Already have an in-person ticket? Here’s what that means for you.
Workshops
Conference sessions are one thing, but full-day hands-on workshops are an entirely different beast. On the day before and on the day after the conference, you can dive deep into your topic of interest: be it Smart Responsive UX Design Patterns or Next Steps With CSS Layout.
Join one of the hands-on workshops with a limited number of seats. Tickets for the full-day workshops cost $499 — all booking fees included.
If you buy a combo ticket, you will save USD 100 and get access to three days of world-class of workshop learning and our Smashing conference experience.
Workshops include…
- Snacks and drinks during the whole day
- Tea and coffee
- Lunch
- Paper and pen/pencil
There’s more content in this 1 day SVG workshop than in some 3 day courses. Brilliant job @SaraSoueidan! #smashingconf
The Front-End Accessibility Workshop
with Sara Soueidan
Full-day workshop • Monday, October 12th
Accessibility doesn’t have to be hard or time-consuming. Once you learn how to think and code inclusively, writing accessible markup becomes second nature, and part of your everyday coding workflow. In this workshop, you will learn how to build UI components with inclusivity baked right into them from the start — from writing proper, semantic HTML, to writing CSS that doesn’t break the accessibility of your UI and adding accessible interactivity with JavaScript.- On the web

Resilient Web Systems with CSS & Sass
with Miriam Suzanne
Full-day workshop • Monday, October 12th
From building beautiful sites to maintaining complex design systems across multiple applications, CSS is the web-language of design.
Join Miriam for a deep-dive into the heart of CSS: how it works, what makes it special, and how we can harness it for resilient and maintainable design systems that scale. Rather than learning a single convention or toolkit, you’ll learn the fundamentals that all conventions share – how to think with CSS, and make smart decisions for your own project.- On the web

The CSS Layout Masterclass

In this all-new workshop Rachel Andrew will take you through this new system for layout, giving you the ability to properly understand and use CSS Layout with real understanding of why things behave as they do.- On the web

Front-End Performance: Building Faster Websites
with Harry Roberts
Full-day workshop • Thursday, October 15th
Every case-study, every report, and every bit of feedback always tells us the same thing: speed matters. It’s good for users, it’s good for accessibility, and it’s good for business. But why are modern browsing experiences so slow? If technology is getting better, why are websites getting worse?- On the web
