About FFConf

FFConf is a room full of people who still give a damn about the web and its community - 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 disposition - developers, designers, the people who manage them and the people who brief them. If you're only half-sure you still care, a day in this room tends to fix that.

Why attend?

People don't leave ffconf with a tidy list of takeaways. They leave with the itch to try something - a new job, a first blog post, their own name on a CFP. The talks start it; the room makes it stick. You had to be there, and that's not a slogan - it's the mechanism.

Testimonials

FFConf stands as one of the best events I've had the honour to speak at. He didn't know until this moment but Remy (& his family!) made it one of the best speaker experiences I've ever had.

If you can attend this event, I strongly encourage you to. Let's keep supporting great events by great humans🩷

Heading home after a wonderful #ffconf. It was great to meet so many web friends in real life, and see some inspiring talks. Buzzing with ideas now!

Attending the ffconf was such an inspiring experience for me. Back then I had zero knowledge on coding apart from interest in programming in general, and now I'm studying at a full time bootcamp working on making a web app purely in Javascript.

The conference was amazing and one of the best events I have attended in regards to interesting and inspiring content. People also seemed to be very friendly towards each other and I loved seeing so many women attending as well!

It's a wonderful conference with a clear emphasis on community, diversity and inclusivity. The result is an eclectic line up and an array of talks that validate, inspire and energise.

If you've never been, I can't recommend it enough

As a web developer I couldn't have asked for anything more. #ffconf you not just talk about diversity and inclusivity you also put them in action. Every topic and speaker were unique and diverse. Thanks for making me a better developer. Hopefully I will make it to next one.

Years ago, Paul Cuthbertson introduced me to a life-changing conference. Not only did I find my current job through chatting with people there, but the talks I saw and the people I met throughout the years were the inspiration and acceptance I desperately needed to find.

- Ana Rodrigues via Mastodon

I feel like the day had a great balance of talks, covering many aspects that are important as a software developer and not just the traditional 'technical content' avenue. I believe that this emphasis on skills and ideas that are not just technical knowledge but also how to be a developer in the context of a team and community is a great asset and one I'd like to see more of. Indeed, this year was my first ffconf, but hopefully not my last!
