Chicago, IL - An Event Apart, the conference for people who make websites, today announced three of its 2009 conference dates and locations, along with its first confirmed speakers. This conference helps web designers and developers gain a deeper understanding of web standards and emerging best practices, while offering fresh ideas and new directions in the web design industry.

 

An Event Apart conferences, developed in 2005 by Jeffrey Zeldman and Eric Meyer, are known for bringing together the greatest minds and hottest talents in web design today. The initial 2009 schedule for An Event Apart takes the conference to three cities: Seattle, May 4-5; Boston, June 22-23; and San Francisco, December 7-8. An Event Apart Seattle will be held at the Bell Harbour Conference Center, while An Event Apart Boston takes place at the Boston Marriott Copley, and An Event Apart San Francisco is to be held at The Palace Hotel. Registration and ticket sales for all An Event Apart 2009 conferences will begin in January 2009.

 

Jeffrey Zeldman and Eric Meyer, the two internationally recognized web authorities - web standards godfather Zeldman and world-renowned CSS expert Meyer - put together a speaker lineup for the 2009 conferences they would want to hear. Confirmed speakers for 2009 include: Andy Budd, Dan Cederholm, Heather Champ, Andy Clarke, Derek Featherstone, Kristina Halvorson, Robert Hoekman, Jr., Jeremy Keith, Ethan Marcotte, Dave Shea, Jared Spool, Aarron Walter, and conference co-founders Eric Meyer and Jeffrey Zeldman.

 

The final 2008 conference, An Event Apart Chicago October 13-14, has sold out. Those who have already secured a seat for this remarkable two-day web design conference will benefit from the insights and perspective of a stellar speaker lineup. The speaker line up for Chicago includes industry experts Andy Clarke, Sarah Nelson, Robert Hoekman Jr., Jason Fried, Cameron Moll, Rob Weychert, Derek Powazek, Curt Cloninger, Jason Santa Maria, Jeffrey Veen, and conference hosts Eric Meyer and Jeffrey Zeldman.

 

"We are incredibly lucky to be working with such an amazing group of speakers," said Eric Meyer, co-founder of An Event Apart. "Much of what has made An Event Apart successful is that Jeffrey and I have never stepped away from our audience - both of us are still part of the web design community - and are both still learning from our peers. We are always working to make An Event Apart a conference that we'd want to attend ourselves."

 

Registration for all three An Event Apart two-day web design conferences will open in January 2009.
