A Web Design Community curated by Chris Coyier

Front-End Design Conference

By: Chris Coyier on 5/11/2009

I will be speaking at my first conference ever! I’m really looking forward to it and I have already started preparing my presentation. It’s going to be focused on jQuery and using it to accomplish things that CSS does poorly, can’t do yet, or will likely never be able to do. Lots of real-world examples and implementations.


July 31st, 2009 – St. Petersburg, Florida

Speakers include:

Early Registration is only $99!

Full day of conference action for under 100 bucks (if you order before July 1st) Fantastic deal, I think. To be honest, I’ve never even attended a web design conference before just because of the crazy price tags. If I wasn’t speaking I’d be going! Find out more at the website, and:

Register now

Let me know if you plan on attending, I’m sure there will be plenty of chances to hang out!

    Oh hey! I’m only 3 hours away……

  3. Man, that’s really tempting. Awesome price and a fresh lineup of speakers that I’d love to hear from. It’s a month after the conference we’re trying to put together here in South Carolina though and the week after my wife and I’s 6 year anniversary so I better restrain myself from buying a ticket. I know a lot of people in Florida, so I’ll do my best to promote it. Brake a leg, Chris!

    We’re putting together a free web design & usability conference in Orlando, FL on July 25th at the Downtown Library.

    We’re still planning a lot, but since you’ll be in Florida, would you be interested in giving a practice talk? ;)

  12. Jeph says:

    Snap, St. Petersburg?
    Oh, and it’s FortySevenMedia (not fourty).

  13. Hey Chris, I’m looking forward to seeing your presentation, and of course, meeting you too ;)

  14. Matt says:

    Looks like one of the sponsors (fanboy) tweets about your stuff a lot, Mr. Coyier.

  15. Everette says:

    Damn, I would be there for sure if I still lived in Jax, only a few hours drive. But now it would take me five days.haha Hope it goes well!

    Will the conference be suitable for noobs like myself? My experience is very limited to XHTML/CSS and a tiny bit of PHP.
    Thanks
