What/who/why of FFConf, Reflection and Links
Latest Event News
What is FFConf?
FFConf is a room full of awesome folks who still give a damn about the web and its community - with talks meant to be experienced, not bookmarked.
Who should attend? 🧑🔧👩💼🧑💻
Anyone who works on or with the web and hasn't stopped caring about it. FFConf isn't for a job title, it's for a shared ethos - developers, designers, the people who manage them and the people who brief them.
Why? 🤔💭
You won't leave FFConf with a tidy list of takeaways. You will leave with the itch to try something: a blog post, your own name on a CFP, an idea for a project, a new job. Spend the day with your community, with like-minded folks and leave connected, inspired and hopeful.
So join us on Friday 13th November - limited early bird tickets are still available for £219+VAT.

Imran Afzal delivered a thought provoking talk titled 'The Art of Reflection'.
He asked us:
What is your purpose? What is driving you from one moment to the next in your life and your work? Are we too busy doing things that we don't have the time to stop and think why we are doing them?
He gives us practical tips to help us become more reflective:
- 15 minutes of alone time every day without devices or distractions
- Develop a curious mindset
- Keep a journal of questions and answers. Lean into your imagination by reviewing and reiterating your journal entries.
Finally, Imran leaves us with the question:
What is your role going to be to make this world a better place?
