The year may be slowly coming to an end, but there are still many exciting conferences to keep in mind before we turn that calendar page over to 2015. Our industry’s indefatigable speakers aren’t quite done yet!
We have to admit though, 2014 was a truly exciting year! With so much happening in the industry, conference organizers have done their best to keep you up to date. Take a look at some of the amazing events that are about to close this year’s conference season and, of course, get an early start on next year’s schedule.
Conferences are about gathering information and knowledge, but also about opportunities to get to know other like-minded folks in the web design community. Also, keep in mind that there’s always a benefit to attending any event, and a strong chance that you’ll be exposed to a large amount of new information, so be prepared to absorb the latest techniques brought to you by distinguished authors and speakers!
I’d like to thank everyone for leaving comments in the previous round-up — they were truly helpful! I admit, I may have missed or forgotten to mention a conference (or two) in today’s round-up, but please don’t hesitate to leave a comment below in the comments section and I’ll be sure to add it on to this list as soon as possible!
The list is quite lengthy, so let’s dive in.
