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. Lunch will be provided on both workshop days.
Workshops include…
- Snacks and drinks during the whole day
- Tea and coffee
- Lunch

Lightning Fast Web Performance
with Scott Jehl

It’s mostly our fault: our sites are heavy, and they’re often delivered in ways that don’t take advantage of how browsers work.- On the web
