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 for Smashing Members. The single-track conference targets 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 mid-talk, and troubleshoot in real time. Seven full-day workshops run on April 13 and 16, covering topics from Sara Soueidan's front-end accessibility deep dive to Kevin Powell's new CSS toolkit to TJ Pitre's AI-driven design systems. Bundle a workshop with the conference and you save 100 euros.
