Product is on hiatus for now
Covid-19 has impacted and transformed much of our lives. In response, Web Directions has taken our events online. As part of this reassessment, we've thought deeply about what makes for great online conferences, and the focus and depth of our programs is a key part of that.
For our online conferences we're focussing on one part of our traditional audience, front end developers, and delivering 6 highly focussed in depth conferences for this audience across the year.
We hope to be able to return in-person with our annual Summit which will include product and design focussed tracks when feasible.

About Us
Co-founded and now run by John Allsopp, Web Directions has for nearly 20 years brought together leading developers, engineers, visual, IxD, UX and product designers, Art and Creative Directors, product managers indeed everyone involved in producing web and digital products to learn from one another, and the World's leading experts across this vast field.
We spend our lives thinking about what comes next, keeping up with trends in technology, practices and processes, and filtering the hype, to make sure you don't miss trends that matter, and don't waste time on hype that doesn't.
We promise attending one of our events will leave you significantly better versed in the challenges you face day to day, and in solutions for addressing them.
