An Event Apart (http://www.aneventapart.com), the conference for
“people who make web sites,” brings 13 leaders in web design and
development to Chicago, Oct. 12-13, at the Sheraton Chicago. In
addition to Jeffrey Zeldman and Eric Meyer, web authorities and
creators of An Event Apart, this two-day event offers a content-rich
line-up of presenters, topics, and information for web designers and
developers.
An Event Apart Chicago offers “people who make web sites” best
practices and new ideas. Conference programmers Meyer, who has taught
hundreds of thousands of web designers how to use HTML and CSS, and
Zeldman, co-founder of the web standards movement, insist that each
speaker must have made a unique contribution to the industry, must be
a star, and must be a stand-out with topic expertise and industry
stature.
“Our goal is to fill the heads of people who make websites with more
ideas, best practices, and contact with our industry’s leaders,” said
Jeffrey Zeldman, principal, A List Apart and An Event Apart.
