About this event
Layers is gone, but the amazing content created by the community is not. Join us for a handful of Meetups with the amazing community members who joined our open call. These are grade-A content for you to enjoy and still feel the experience of the Layers conference.
For our second meetup, meet our great friends Roman, Nina, and Gleb from the Evil Martians. They're gonna be sharing with us their best tips and tricks on everything from accessibility in fonts, to AI for content generation and even some front-end magic.
The 3 talks are aimed at Designers and their best friends (or enemies, depending on how you ask 😅) the Front-End Developers. It intends to present the amazing projects and ideas being developed by the studio and help you take a peek under the hood of all their creative tooling.
