Join the Conversation at the Voices That Matter:
Web Design Conference

As a Web designer, you understand the challenges you face. Gone are the days when a good grasp of HTML and some straightforward usability knowledge would get the job done. Now your clients want to know that you're comfortable with CSS, XML, Ajax, Web standards, interaction design, information architecture, interface design, search engine optimization, Flash, Flex, JavaScript, mobile design, mash-ups and much more.

This not-to-be-missed conference brings you face to face with the Web design authors whose books have shaped your career. Get your most difficult questions answered and gain insights from the brightest thinkers and practitioners in the Web industry during four days of entertaining, informative, and inspiring sessions and conversations.

Two tracks (one inspirational, one practical) mean there's always a session for you: whether you're looking for the up-in-the-clouds ideas that'll transform your work when the conference is over or the down-to-earth techniques that'll make your job easier every day.
