Good one on event existence reasons and reasons to attend by my friend @keirwhitaker.com keirwhitaker.com/blog/the-rea...
The Real Value of IRL Marketing
IRL marketing works best when the event, gathering, or sponsorship is connected to a clear plan for what happens before, during, and afterwards.

It’s video release week! After the recordings from All Day Hey and CSS Day before, the one from Beyond Tellerrand is now available too. While the talk is technically the same, its flow and contents are quite different from those other renditions, so you might want to give this one a watch as well.
beyond tellerrand@beyondtellerrand.com · last mo.Here comes @bram.us with his #btconf talk “Supercharge Web UX with View Transitions” aka “View transitions: cranking it up to 11”. Enjoy! youtu.be/TUcWdCrITdw
On the Beyond Tellerrand blog you can find an accompanying write-up, written by conference organizer @marcthiele.com I am moved by the kind words Marc had to say about my talk. It proves, again, that he is one of the kindest and warmest persons I have ever met.
Video: Bramus Van Damme – Supercharge Web UX with View Transitions
Bramus Van Damme takes View Transitions beyond the edge in his Düsseldorf 2026 talk. Scroll-driven transitions, a new toolkit and a nod to Internet Explorer.

It's been a great year for conferences. I've spoken at @beyondtellerrand.com and @cssday.nl and I've been so lucky to attend so many others, like State of the Browser, Web Day Out and Smashing Conference. It's sharing knowledge, learning and getting inspired. But mostly the community.
