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 Complex UIs or Front-end Adventures.
All workshops are hands-on and practical, so you can apply your new skills immediately. Tickets cost $649 — with discounts for Smashing Members and bundle tickets available.
If you buy a bundle ticket, you will save USD 100 and get access to our conference and one or two days of world-class workshops.
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 649 USD — 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 limited. A computer will not be provided, so please bring your own laptop to the workshop.

Designing For Complex UIs, 2024 Edition
with Vitaly Friedman
Full-day workshop • Monday, October 7, 2024.
Not much can surprise us when it comes to interface challenges. We can design a decent card, a well-rounded accordion and an exquisite hamburger navigation. But what if there are slightly more complex UX challenges ahead of us?
In this workshop with Vitaly Friedman, UX consultant and creative lead behind Smashing Magazine, you will learn how to tackle intricate design challenges in corporate, enterprise and B2B environments with ease.
If you’ve attended a workshop on Complex Design Patterns in previous years, that’s a fully revamped and updated workshop tailored for even more complex UX challenges.- Your instructor

New Front-End Adventures, 2024 Edition
with Vitaly Friedman
Full-day workshop • Thursday, October 10, 2024.
What’s the State of Front-End in 2024? With the islands architecture, design systems, AI, HTTP/3, TypeScript, AVIF, CSS container queries, early hints, bfcache, Core Web Vitals, Variable Fonts, revamped HTML Email and WCAG 2.2 we all are still trying to figure out just the right strategy for building websites and apps efficiently. How do we do that, and how do we achieve it within a reasonable amount of time?
So what are some of the exciting new features that have landed in browsers recently? How do we write CSS and JavaScript these days? What should we keep in mind around accessibility, privacy, sustainability and web performance? How do we architect a flexible and maintainable design system? Well, roll up your sleeves: in this workshop, we’ll cover it all.
