An overview of Web development events and Web design conferences taking place between March and December 2013
A web developer, no matter how skilled, is never done learning. New trends and favored techniques constantly emerge and can be quite challenging, especially with the usual workload web developers have on their plates.
One way to keep up with these industry trends while learning a lot and having a fun time is to visit web design and development conferences and workshops. These events not only deliver a huge amount of valuable information in a short period of time, but they’re also great for networking with like-minded professionals.
We’ve compiled a list of events taking place in the next eight months up to late December 2013. And be sure to check out our next issue towards the end of the year.
It’s impossible to include every event, so please leave a comment below if you feel like we’ve left out any big ones that would be of interest to Uniwebb Software's readers.
