Can anyone recommend a good design+dev conference in the UK?

Hi Treehousers,

In years gone by I've been to some awesome design + dev related conferences here in the UK like FOWA, FOWD and dConstruct. But it's been a while now and I'm feeling a bit out of touch.

Can anyone recommend anything (ideally London based) that's coming up this year?

I was reading Leading Design Conference's site yesterday - until I realised I'd already missed it (it was at the end of last year). That looked great - I have a lot of respect for Clearleft and I'd like to check it out if they run another.

Hi there,

There's a good conference in Norwich each year run by these guys. That's not far from London - about 1h45 on the train.

There's also Devoxx, which is excellent.

Neither of these are design-specific but will feature all aspects of development.

I hope you find that useful.

Steve.

Thanks Steve, both of those look great. I hadn't heard of Devoxx - but it looks fun. Norwich isn't so far from me, so that might be an option. I was hoping for something with a bit more of a design flavour as well as the development side though I guess.
