Jam Session

The night before the conference kicks off, we’re hosting a warm-up event with our dear friends from SpeedCurve, with drinks and talks from your fellow attendees. We hope you’ll join us to connect ahead of the main event!

On Monday October 10th, the doors will open at 6:30 PM. There will be a number of lightning talks and we will be providing some snacks, alcoholic beverages as well as soft drinks.

This event is for SmashingConf New York attendees only. We will be doing a pre-registration so you can already pick up your badge and skip the line on the first conference day!
