This was another fantastic conference from the Clearleft team, and one that I hope is repeated next year. It is absolutely incredible what you can do in the browser these days, and even though I thought I was keeping up with the latest developments, it astounded me how far things have come.
I really enjoyed this chat with Marc:
I recently sat down with Jeremy Keith for a spontaneous conversation that quickly turned into a deep dive into something we both care a lot about: events, community, and why we keep putting ourselves through the joy and pain of running conferences.
What a slap in the face of every tech conference that claims it is simply not possible to have a truly representative line-up: multiple perspectives, multiple faces, multiple experiences, rather than the same default one we’ve all been staring at for decades (that’s a white middle aged man in case you’re wondering. I do love you, white middle aged man, but we’ve heard from you, and keep hearing from you. Time to hear from others, too).
Yes, my friend. It is possible. UX London has done it. The Clearleft team has done it. Go look for yourself.
Beyond Tellerrand has a new website and it’s beautiful!
And look! Past speakers like me get our own page.
In fact there’s a great big archive of all the past talks—that very much deserves your support as a friend of Beyond Tellerrand.
I’m going to share this with the organisers of that conference I pulled out of recently.
Obviously I’m biased, but I very much agree with Sophie.
Michael Kibedi, Ben Sauer, and Lou Downe!
Three excellent days of discovery, design, and delivery at the start of June.
You’ve got one week to grab one!
Save the dates: June 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
Divergent, then convergent.
