As guest authors for Smashing Magazine, it only makes sense we’re excited about their upcoming conference in San Francisco.

Their conference is an in-person extension of the practical content we love on their site. Based on their speaker lineup and topics, the multidisciplinary conference tears apart UX and front-end development case studies to explore:

How to solve problems
Identifying failed ideas
Learning why certain ideas failed
How to arrive at better decisions

What’s it about?

A fan of substance over style, the SmashingConf experience is less like navigating a convention center and more like walking into a cozy place around the corner.
