RAMO

Stop me if this sounds familiar to you…

There’s a conference you heard about it. It sounded really good but you never got ’round to getting a ticket. You were too busy thinking about work stuff. It was just one of those things that remained in the idle thought stage.

Then the day of the conference rolls around. You’re sitting in front of your computer seeing the social media posts from people at the event who are having a ball. The talks sound really good and you wish you could be there. You wonder why you never got ’round to getting that ticket.

Maybe you’ve experienced that when FFconf is happening and people like me are in the audience posting about some revelatory insight we’ve just received. Or maybe you see the blog posts and pictures from an event like dConstruct and you realise that you missed your chance to experience something special.

I’ve certainly experienced it when I’m not in Düsseldorf or Berlin for Beyond Tellerrand and all my friends are posting about how excellent it is.

It’s kind of like FOMO but instead of fear of missing out, it’s more like regret at missing out: RAMO.

I’m giving you advance warning. If you have anything at all to do with front-end development and you don’t come to Web Day Out, you are definitely going to experience RAMO.

Seriously, it is shaping up to be something very special indeed. Check out the schedule to see what I mean:

• I can’t believe it’s not JavaScript
• A pragmatic guide to browser support
• Progressive web apps from the trenches
• Build for the web, build on the web, build with the web
• Breaking with habits
• What’s new in web typography?
• Customisable select and the friends we made along the way
• The browser is the playground

Tickets are just £225+VAT. Now is the time to get yours. It’s the second week of the new year. You’ve settled back into work. Now in the depths of Winter, you need something to look forward to, something that’s going to get you excited about making websites. That’s Web Day Out.

And if you need to convince your boss, I’ve got you covered.

Jeremy Keith – beyond tellerrand Podcast

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.
