Whether you're an experienced designer, a budding developer or simply someone with a passion for creativity, Belgium has something special in store for you. In this post, I'll be your guide to some of the most exciting design events taking place in Belgium this year, helping you to find the perfect conference to fuel your creative fire.

CSS Day 
Thursday, 6 and Friday, 7 June
Amsterdam, The Netherlands 🇳🇱

CSS Day started out in 2013 as a single-day, laser-focused, advanced CSS conference, and we started intertwining design sessions a few years ago. Their attendees and speakers are a mix of CSS designers, developers, spec writers and browser vendors, who take pride in what they know and do. They're a conference with an informal vibe and plenty of breaks, where each person can approach one another. Did I say its the 10th anniversary edition of the event 🥳
