While I'm no longer actively involved in @LDconf, the design leadership conference and community I started 8+ years ago, it's great to see they can still land amazing speakers and pull a great schedule together.
#LD features an array of industry-leading speakers discussing topics to help you tackle some of your most pressing challenges.
The day 1 agenda includes:
- Alastair Simpson on building a culture of craft.
- Fonz Morris discussing collaboration, communication, and conversation.
