Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference

The Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference
In a tough economy, it pays to be at the top of your game. You simply can't afford to rely on last year's technology and techniques. At the Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference to be held in San Francisco, California, in April, you can sharpen your skills and strengthen your resume with new techniques and strategies from the most respected professionals in the Web design industry.

At the Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference, the leading authors and practitioners in the Web design community will inspire, entertain, and train you in all the things you know you've been needing to learn—and even a few you didn't—from CSS, Ajax, and Web standards, to SEO, Web usability, interface design and more.

Thanks to the conference's intimate setting, you'll meet your favorite Web design authors face to face, and you'll get to talk with the people whose books have shaped your career. Get your most difficult questions answered and gain insights from the brightest thinkers and practitioners in the Web industry during three days of entertaining, informative, and inspiring sessions and conversations.

Two tracks each day mean there's always a session for you: whether you're looking for off-beat ideas that you'll be eager to try when you get back to work or down-to-earth techniques that'll make that your job easier every day.
