🌍 Hidde 's talk goes after where the web is quietly failing in 2026 — speed, access, sheer dullness — with real, buildable ways to make it more sustainable, accessible, and fun again. Plus a workshop: Modern CSS for Everyday Development. 💻 Join us: smashingconf.com/freiburg-2026
Jake's a Mozilla dev who's somehow made "how browsers actually work" into a entertaining bit. He'll be talking about: Customisable `<select>` and the friends we made along the way. 🍿 Come see it live in Freiburg, Sept 7–10. Tickets here: smashingconf.com/freiburg-2026
💥 Emma's talk is an intervention: what happens when an assumption goes unchallenged for way too long, and why saying "I was wrong" out loud might be the most underrated leadership move there is. Myth-busting, mildly humbling, very funny. Join us: smashingconf.com/freiburg-2026
If you want the full experience: I'm running a 4×2.5h + Q&A "Accessibility for Designers" full workshop. We'll cover what designers need to know about accessibility, with many hands-on Figma exercises to practice! Detail: smashingconf.com/online-works...
Accessibility for Designers — Online Workshops
Accessibility is the responsibility of the whole team. And a lot of accessibility issues can be already foreseen and prevented during the design phase. This practical workshop is designed to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills to design products that are accessible and user-friendly.

I'm running a free online 1 hour accessibility webinar in September! Catching accessibility issues in mockups is cheaper than fixing them in code. I'll cover how to check your mockups, documentation examples and you will get plenty of resources to help. 📅 Tue, Sept 1, 2026 · 19:00 CEST
Spotting Accessibility Issues Early — Online Workshops
Accessibility is not only a developer problem, it's team work! And many issues can already be spotted, prevented, and documented during the design phase. In this 1-hour webinar, Stephanie Walter will show designers and open-minded curious developers how to review mockups for common accessibility issues.
