Jam Session
The night before the conference kicks off, we’re hosting a warm-up event with our dear friends from Figma, with drinks and talks from your fellow attendees. We hope you’ll join us to connect ahead of the main event!
On Monday October 6th, 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!
You will need to sign an NDA onsite at Figma, which you can do on the spot.
Want to speak? We’re happy and looking forward to seeing your great lightning talk submissions! Please fill in our form, and we’ll get back to you.

Talks
Masonry: not just a pretty grid by Patrick Brosset
A native implementation of CSS Masonry is getting into web browsers! Let’s take this opportunity to review what it is and what it allows you to do. Masonry isn’t about old layouts anymore. In this talk, I’ll focus on the many new capabilities that masonry unlocks, which Grid, Flexbox, or Multicol don’t quite provide. We’ll explore use cases where masonry shines and I’ll leave you with resources to explore and build your own layouts.
The Fabulous Four by Donnie D’Amato
Imagine you can only use 4 CSS properties to build a website. Which ones would you choose? Donnie walks you through his picks, and might even inspire a few of your own.
