Dear Friends,

In September this year, we are delighted to invite you to come together for the very first Smashing Conference — a friendly, valuable and unique community event for Web designers and developers.

Located on the outskirts of the beautiful Black Forest, in the shadow of the legendary Historical Merchants Hall built between 1520 and 1530, we've put a lot of effort into organizing a truly smashing conference experience for you. We'd be honored to meet you at a very personal and inspiring community event that will help us all become better at what we do!

17–19th September 2012 in Freiburg, Germany

We will host a two-day single-track conference and four workshops. It will take place in our beautiful home town Freiburg, Germany, at the legendary Historical Merchants Hall at the foot of the Black Forest. We've thoroughly handpicked all of the speakers to ensure the high quality of the event. More details about the conference, speakers, talks and workshops are available on the Smashing Conference website.
