Frameworks ’26 — Two days for people who ship the web
Visual concept preview of the Event Conference template's Home page: Sells the two days: the date lockup, event proof, the lineup, and the waves. The sections below are a non-interactive composition of open-registry blocks.
Two days at Halle Nord with the engineers and designers who put the modern web into production. Three rooms, sixty-two sessions, and not one vendor keynote.

Underwritten by the teams who maintain the tools:
Every session ships something real — a migration, a rendering budget, a design system that survived a reorg — and the speaker stays in the room afterwards to answer for it.
Nothing is pre-recorded and nothing is a product demo. The programme committee rejects any proposal that cannot name the trade-off it made.
- Attendees across seven editions

I have been to conferences that made me feel behind. Frameworks made me want to open my laptop on the train home and fix something.
The committee is nine working engineers and designers. They read every proposal blind and cut anything that reads like a launch post.
Three rooms, one argument
Main Stage sets the argument each morning; Systems and Craft take it apart all afternoon. Nothing is ever scheduled against its own audience.
Speakers stay for both days
Every speaker commits to both days. You will find them at the Long Table, in the corridor, or on the workshop floor — never in a green room.
Workshops with a seat limit
Twenty-four seats, three hours, one machine each. You leave a workshop with something running on your own laptop, not a slide deck.
The full lineup by room is on the Speakers page — including the eleven first-time speakers the committee pulled out of blind review.
Two days, one continuous argument. This is the shape of it.
Wednesday — Foundations
Opening keynote at ten, then Systems and Craft run in parallel until six. The coffee is real and the queue is not.
Wednesday night — The Long Table
One very long table, three hundred seats, no seating plan. Speakers, first-timers, and the committee all eating the same thing.
Thursday — Frontiers
Workshops all morning on the top floor, the closing keynote at half past four, and the hallway track until they turn the lights off.
Three of the four things we changed about our rendering pipeline last year came out of one Frameworks afternoon. I have never had that from a conference before.
One band for everyone, a genuinely free community allocation, and an invoice if your studio is sending a table.
