35 Inspiring Design and Development Related Event Websites

Published October 27, 2010 in Shevaa in Inspiration

We decided to put together a somewhat different list of inspiring websites. We’re featuring upcoming design, artistic and development related events and conferences websites. The idea is not only to show you ‘beautiful and well designed’ websites but also conferences, talks and places where you can go to get inspiration and to meet people.
