20 Web Dev Events, 20 Beautifully Crafted Web Designs
The initial idea for this article was to highlight all web design related events and conferences up until the end of 2010. As the article evolved, the primary focus and direction changed – no longer were we only highlighting some important and essential conferences, we soon realized we were privy to some truly inspirational and highly original examples of beautiful web design. And that is exactly what you will find: 20 Web Dev Events, 20 Beautifully Crafted Web Designs.
At the bottom of the post we have also highlighted some events that have now passed, but purely based on their web design they have also been included.
