What an amazing days @smashingconf Freiburg. This is the most I have learned at a single conference in a long time.
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. Once we have most speakers confirmed we will be releasing the schedule.
Our workshops offer the opportunity to get to grips with new ideas and techniques in real depth, with a full day spent on the topic of your choice. It’s a great way to round off your conference experience, and lunch will be provided, too.
Join one of the intensive workshops with a limited number of seats. Tickets for the full-day workshops cost €499 — 19% VAT and booking fees included.
Workshops include…
- Snacks and drinks during the whole day
- Tea and coffee
- Lunch
- Paper and pen/pencil
Please notice that the maximum capacity of each workshop is 30 attendees. A computer will not be provided, so please bring your own laptop to the workshop.

Cascading Styles: A CSS Deep Dive
with Miriam Suzanne
Full-day workshop • Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
A lot has changed in the nearly 30 years since CSS was first proposed, and new features are shipping at an unprecedented rate – cascade layers, container queries, the ':has()' selector, wide-gamut colors, subgrid, and so much more.
Meanwhile, we're still getting used to custom properties and basic grids! Taken one at a time, the list can feel overwhelming, but these features all fit together to form a highly systemic language based on a radical foundation: the cascade of styles.- Your instructor

Designing For Complex UI
with Vitaly Friedman
Full-day workshop • Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
Not much can surprise us when it comes to interface challenges. We can design a decent card, a well-rounded accordion, an accessible modal and an exquisite hamburger navigation. But what if there are slightly more complex UX challenges ahead of us?
