Web Design, Development & Creative Conferences in the South
Last modified: September 20, 2022
Not all web conferences happen in London, there are some great ones in the South, not too far from my home town of Portsmouth. I haven’t been to all of these, but they’ve come highly recommended. Here’s a little sneak peak at what’s going on in Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex this year.
Barcamp Bournemouth
Next event: Saturday 18th April 2015
Where: Bournemouth

Barcamp Bournemouth descibes itself as an ‘unconference’, the idea is that you turn up, and are encouraged to put yourself forward to do a talk on something. You don’t have to, you can turn up to spectate, but it’s a great way to see a huge variety of talks over a day.
