Breaking Development Competitors

In the years since 2009, Web Summit has grown from a 150-person conference in Dublin to a global event series gathering more than 140,000 attendees every year from all over the world. We build incredible things, from technology and stages to relationships and experiences. Since 2009, we've grown our team to more than 340 people. At our headquarters in Dublin, Ireland – and in Portugal, Canada, Qatar, Brazil and many more locations around the world – incredible engineers, developers, producers, designers, marketers and salespeople come together to create unique global events. In Europe, North America, South America, Asia and the Middle East, we are builders of world-class global technology festivals. Our events take on the flavour of their surroundings, while still retaining the successful framework we've fine-tuned over the years. Web Summit events have become unrivalled global meeting places for the world's most disruptive technology companies, and for those interested in how that disruption can transform their businesses and their lives.

Our major conferences, dive deeply into front end design and development, and you can find the full lineup here https://webdirections.org/events Unlike many conferences, we have a editorial approach – we put together programs based on current trends in the industry, and seek out speakers who are working in those areas to give inspiring, entertaining, but most importantly practical presentations. But as important as the content is, conferences are also about connecting with your peers – making new connections, and strengthening existing ones, sharing know-how and expertise, finding an expert, or new clients. At Web Directions events we pay careful attention to this side of things with social events, and innovative use of social software to help build and strengthen those relationships. Committed to; Bringing together the best possible speakers – knowledgeable, entertaining, inspiring real world experts. Covering the issues, technologies, concepts and techniques web professionals need right now. Keeping clear separation between content and commercial communication – we have a clear no “pay to speak” policy. Providing the best possible value for our attendees – we try to deliver as much as possible, for as little as possible. Helping attendees connect with peers through social events, and our own online networks like tweeps. In short – we put together the events we’d want to attend, and we trust you’ll want to as well.

Founded in September 2006, Smashing Magazine delivers useful and innovative information to web designers and developers. The goal is to support the community with articles about the latest trends and techniques in web development. We try our best to impress you not with the quantity but with the quality of the articles we publish. We hope that makes us different. Smashing Magazine is, and always has been, independent. Perhaps the most remarkable yet overlooked aspect of the design community is its friendly, enthusiastic spirit. Every day, literally thousands of talented, hard-working folks out there gain new insight from their work, come up with brilliant ideas and then share their experience with fellow designers. Nourished by the gratitude of its benefactors and powered by the reach of social networking, this community has produced a wide variety of high-quality articles, resources and tools, available to everybody. Every single contribution supports the entire community, and the community supports these contributors with traffic and word-of-mouth advertising: the networking effect at its best.
