The Future of Web Design (FOWD) is a one day event focusing on trends, best practice and inspiration for contemporary web design, featuring leading design experts. Sign up before the end of January and get in for £59 +VAT. Quite reasonable I thought so I’ve signed up out of my own pocket (well, OK, the credit card). If you miss the window the price will be £85 (+VAT I assume).

Head on over to the official site for the full skinny and then sign yourself up via Upcoming.org. Hope to see some of you there!

Now a global phenomenon with dates for San Francisco and Hong Kong as well as good old London this has got to be on everyone’s wish list? What a great line up across the board but look at who’s coming to London! I’m going to have to flex the plastic myself this year I reckon to listen and hopefully meet some more web heroes.

So, who else is going?

Apologies to everyone in RSS land I’ve updated the CSS framework post so you’ll get that post and this one telling you of the changes.
