What Will Happen At Smashing Meets?

  • 3×30-mins interactive talks from experts, followed by a short Q&A.
  • Interactive activities in breakout rooms, with friendly communities around the world and collaborative design and coding challenges.
  • A fun quiz show where you can win some smashing prizes!
