The Future of Web Design conference returns to New York City next week, and we're excited to once again be a part of this informative and inspiring event. The schedule is packed with sessions covering HTML5, CSS, creativity and other topics from some of the most respected voices in Web design, including our own Dan Rhatigan who will be participating in three sessions. We're also pleased to be joined by Chris Armstrong, part of the team behind the much anticipated Typecast application. Chris will help us explore how browser-based design can lead to better sites and better typography.
