Why Respond?
The technologies, devices, practices and techniques for delivering compelling Web based experiences are ever changing. Last year's bleeding edge is this years status quo. We've lived and breathed the Web for more than 20 years, and use this unique perspective, and deep knowledge to curate two days of in-depth, invaluable presentations from local and world leading experts. Past speakers have included Ethan Marcotte (inventor of 'Responsive Design', Scott Jehl, Karen McGrane and Sara Soueidan.)
Who's it for?
Respond is designed for the whole front end team: Web designers, Interaction and User Experience experts, content strategists, product managers, creative and art directors.
Real World Knowledge
Now in its fourth year, and curated by John Allsopp, cited by Ethan Marcotte as one of the inspirations for Responsive design, Respond goes beyond the technology, to address the myriad challenges we face in delivering modern, responsive Web experiences.

About Us
Co-founded and now run by John Allsopp, Web Directions has for over a decade brought together leading developers, engineers, visual, IxD, UX and product designers, Art and Creative Directors, indeed everyone involved in producing web and digital products to learn from one another, and the World's leading experts across this vast field.
We spend our lives thinking about what comes next, keeping up with trends in technology, practices and processes, and filtering the hype, to make sure you don't miss trends that matter, and don't waste time on hype that doesn't.
We promise attending one of our events will leave you significantly better versed in the challenges you face day to day, and in solutions for addressing them.
In 2016, we'll be organising Respond in Sydney and Melbourne, Transform in Canberra, Code in Sydney and Melbourne, and Direction in Sydney.
