Upcoming Web Design Conferences (January 2020 – June 2020)
Please note that dates are subject to change due to COVID-19. I have tried to update all the information below, but it would be best to check the websites for further information regarding their conference dates and schedules.
Happy New Year everyone! 2020 has been… well, 2020. In-person events were impossible (and still are quite tricky most places). In a burst of optimism we’re giving this list the 2021 college try! :-)
We’re putting our heart and soul into crafting personal, inclusive and valuable events for all of us to become better professionals. With online workshops, we aim to give you the same experience and access to experts as in an in-person workshop, without needing to leave your desk. So you can learn at your own pace, in your own time, and follow interactive exercises along the way.
Boost your skills online and learn practical, actionable insights from experts in the industry, live. With insightful takeaways, interactive exercises, access to experts, slides, recordings and a friendly Q&A.
Now, enough for the plug! Let’s dive into our list for April to August:

Incorporate Test Automation into your Salesforce Ecosystem
“What's so great about Salesforce is that it offers an ecosystem where you are left free to customize existing applications and build new ones to your heart’s content.
But, for automation testers, this rich customizability can be a source of pain since they are tasked with designing the right test automation process and toolkit to make sure all custom apps work properly, and will not conflict with a myriad of other Salesforce’s inbuilt features.
If you want to learn how to make Test Automation work for your Salesforce Development Lifecycle, join us in this January's webinar "Incorporate Test Automation into your Salesforce Lifecycle".”

Web Directions Hover
“CSS is the often unsung hero of Web development. For nearly a quarter of a century it's added color, typography, layout, and more to the web. In that time it's gone from a straightforward language, to a complex set of capabilities, quite a few of which are little understood.
Many web development conferences cover CSS as part of a mix. But few are really dedicated to the langage alone. Hover will be exclusively focused on CSS–the conference CSS deserves.
Who's it for? If you build front ends, hover is for you.
In depth knowledge All Web Directions conferences feature in-depth knowledge from real world experts. Some you'll know, many you won't, but all bring a world of experience and knowledge.”
