W3Conf Coming to San Francisco

W3ConfOur team has been committed to spreading the practical application of Web standards & supporting the right usage of them. To this end, we initiated the Test the Web Forward event (there is one on Feb 8-9 2013 in Sydney, register here!) and we are very glad to be the host of W3Conf organized by the W3C.

The Conference has a line-up of skilled experts as speakers, more details are available on our Web Platform Team blog. What is more, we are happy to offer a discount code ‘adobe’ that offers $100 off the early-bird price of $300 ! Registration is now open.

In conjunction with this event, we are also organizing a workshop with the acclaimed Digital Media artist Joshua Davis on 23 February 2013 at Adobe SF. The all-day workshop is available for the low price of $32 (including fees), so do register!

Meanwhile, we are also looking into organizing a Doc Sprint that would encourage the attendees of the W3Conf to contribute back by documenting features of standards on webplatform.org. More details will be posted on webplatform.org as they are available.

The web has no greater need for better knowledge and contribution to web standards, I hope you can join us in efforts to move the web forward.
