SmashingConf Amsterdam runs April 13-16, 2026, at Pathé Tuschinski in Amsterdam. In-person tickets start at 724 euros, online access at 200 euros, with up to 25% off via Smashing Membership. This is the first SmashingConf in Amsterdam, a single-track event for front-end developers, UI engineers, and UX designers covering design systems, accessibility, modern CSS, AI, Figma, and UX writing.
Ten confirmed speakers include Kevin Powell, Sara Soueidan, Nathan Curtis, and Nadieh Bremer. The format is not slide decks and keynotes. Speakers code live, open Figma in real time, and troubleshoot in front of the audience, a format SmashingConf has used since its first event in 2012. Seven full-day workshops run on April 13 and April 16, covering topics from Sara Soueidan on front-end accessibility to Kevin Powell on the new CSS toolkit. Bundle a workshop with the conference and save 100 euros.
What makes the full article worth reading is the breakdown of each workshop curriculum and the speaker lineup details that signal exactly what skill level and role this event is built for. If you are deciding whether to send a team or attend solo, the specifics on format, venue choice, and session structure will close that decision faster than the marketing copy suggests.
