Attending a Web Developer Conference in Switzerland

August – September 2023 | Switzerland

Zurich, Switzerland (Front Conference)

After a month in and around Barcelona, I returned to Switzerland. The biggest airport is in Zurich, so I mostly depart and arrive there. I managed to get the key to my friend’s apartment before I left for Barcelona, and since he’s not around and I’m staying in Zurich for a conference, I could use his apartment. I felt like a local living in Zurich when I arrived. It was so smooth having a place in the city centre.

The next day, I attended a conference for web developers—FrontConf Zurich. It was my second time there, and I knew quite a few people from my professional environment in Switzerland. It’s the biggest conference in that industry and well known. There are also a lot of very high-end speakers with engaging content. So, I was looking forward to attending and getting inspired/updated those two days.

Speakers like Vitaly Friedman (Smashing Magazine), Nico Martin, Andy Budd, Chris Coyier (CSS-Tricks), Rachel Andrew (CSS Working Group), and many more attended the conference. It’s always packed with well-known speakers and high-class talks.

After the conference weekend, I returned to my hometown, where a town market was going on. I was resetting my laptop and polishing things for another big journey ahead of me. I also for sure met some friends and organized a local hangout at a Meetup group I’m co-organizing once in a while when I’m around. This time, we did an after-work beer hangout with some local web developers and could gather around eight people. It was fun and engaging as well.
