SPONSORSHIP 2019 www.smashingconf.com
mashingconfs have always been about one single thing: practical techniques for real-life projects. But what can be more practical than looking over the shoulders of developers coding in their workspace or designers sketching on paper? After a remarkable success in Toronto in 2018, that s the format we are exploring for 2019. How does it work? All sessons are live and interactive. No Keynote, Reveal or Google Slides. Instead, take a seat, breathe in and show how you design or build on a large screen live from scratch! in front of 500 people. Now, what could possibly go wrong, right? ;-)
