In late 2005, two internationally recognized web authorities—Happy Cog’s Jeffrey Zeldman, and world-renowned CSS expert Eric Meyer—got together to create the kind of web design conference they would want to attend.

Their new conference wouldn’t be just for designers. It wouldn’t be just for coders. Attendees would gain a deeper understanding of web standards, of course. But they would also encounter a world of design inspiration, emerging best practices, and new ideas.

The guest speakers had to stand out as well. Subject matter expertise was not enough. Each speaker had to have made unique contributions to the industry. Each had to be a star.

They called their conference An Event Apart.

An Event Apart, the design conference for people who make websites, presents its agenda for 2008. Kicking it off is a monster, two-day session in the city of New Orleans, featuring twelve of your favorite web design authors. It’s like bringing your bookshelf to life.

I recommend it to anyone… the conference as a whole was classy and well organized.
