Schedule
We are sooo excited! We are looking forward to two days of single track talks, two workshop days, and loads of side events.
For both the talks and the workshops, we have a good range of topics, from UX Research and Design to CSS and Accessibility. All talks and workshops are brought to you by amazing speakers and have practical takeaways everywhere!
Your conference or bundle ticket also gives you access to all our side events, from a city walk to morning yoga and runs, and — of course — our famous Smashing Party! If you’re joining us online, you get backstage interviews, online fun and networking.
✨ Attending the Smashing Magazine Conference in New York was an incredible experience! ✨ I had the pleasure of connecting with inspiring professionals in the UX design industry and gaining fresh perspectives on thoughtful design and innovation.
