WebExpo, the big web conference here in Prague, lands at the end of May this year (May 27–29), and I’ve of course already blocked out the city’s Lucerna venue in my calendar.
I went through the program and picked four talks I’d go to in a parallel universe — the one where I don’t bump into one of you right before the talk and get lost in conversation.
I also helped curate the frontend talks for FrontKon. Our picks there cover a broader range. Here’s my shorter, personal selection.
Four talks I’d hate to miss
-
Switch Angel: Patterns for restarting the world
The opening keynote. A well-known streamer, live coding music in Strudel, electronic pop in real time. Really looking forward to this one. -
Daniel Cuthbert: From HAL to Replicants
Agents, payments, security — a world where AI doesn’t just write your commit messages but also makes decisions for you. I don’t think this will be sci-fi storytelling; it’ll be hard reality. -
Michal Kessel Shitrit: Don’t trust the bot
How not to send your users straight to hell with AI-generated microcopy. UX writing with common sense — exactly what I’m dealing with at work right now. -
Mike Kus: Design like no-one is watching
Design without fear of AI templates. A big name from the UX scene calling for creative instinct. Where do I sign?
Recording FrontKec on Wednesday: a chat about the first day’s topics
After day one, just before 6 p.m., I’ll slip into the small cinema inside Lucerna with Robin Pokorný and we’ll record a live episode of FrontKec.
We’ll recap the day and talk through the talks. As usual, with you in the audience. Informal, just like the other episodes — only this time with fresh conference material in our heads.
Come say hello.
A little discount from the garden…?
The code MICHALEK26 saves you 1,000 CZK on a ticket (both the conference ticket and the bundle).
Premium workshops aren’t included in the discount, just so you know.
See you in Lucerna?
