SmashingConf – Desgin & UX
What’s a Smashing Conference Like?
SmashingConf Antwerp is a friendly, inclusive event which is focused on real-world problems and solutions. The whole event takes place over 5 days, with 1 pre-day, 2 workshop days with 6 practical workshops, and 2 conference days. The conference is 1 track with 12 speakers, 500–600 attendees and a handful of side events.
Our talks are not just showcases: our amazing speakers show how they work — their setup, techniques and shortcuts for getting work done in live interactive sessions. So expect everything from collaborative Figma projects to “this-is-how-we-work”-sessions, live.
SmashingConf Antwerp is focused on UX and Design, and covers quite a range of topics from research to interface design. Our audience is super sweet, and ranges from junior UX'ers to senior project managers and front-end developers. That means you'll go home with not only a bundle of diverse, actionable insights for your work, but also with many new friends.
