BubbleConf: One day of ideas and action with the most vocal minds from tech, design, UX and business.

BubbleConf is a conference for today’s tech startups on design, development and entrepreneurship by Nedap and Phusion. We aim to bring together developers, designers and entrepreneurs from all over Europe to share their knowledge and war stories with one another. With about 400 attendees last year, we hope to see you at this year’s edition in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam on September 27th!

Designers! We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be having Dan Cederholm and Rich Thornett — the founders of Dribbble — at BubbleConf 2013! If you ever wanted to learn more about what makes today’s hottest design community tick, then you don’t want to miss out on this one! Dan and Rich will be doing a Q&A session with the audience so you can pretty much ask them anything you wanted to know about dribbble.

Dan Cederholm

Dan is a designer, author, speaker, and dad living in Salem, Massachusetts. He is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of Dribbble, and the Founder & Principal of SimpleBits, a tiny design studio.

Dan previously co-founded the wine community site, Cork’d and has worked with clients such as Google, MTV, ESPN, Fast Company, YouTube, Microsoft, and others. He embraces simple, flexible, adaptable design using web standards through his interface work, writing, and speaking. In early 2012 he received a TechFellow Award for Product Design & Marketing.

Dan is the author of four best-selling books: CSS3 For Web Designers (A Book Apart), Bulletproof Web Design 3rd Edition (New Riders), Handcrafted CSS: More Bulletproof Web Design with Ethan Marcotte (New Riders), and Web Standards Solutions (Apress/Friends of ED). And he’s an aspiring clawhammer banjoist.

Rich Thornett

Rich wanted to play pro basketball when he grew up, but found himself trapped in the body of a software developer. So he did the next best thing and co-created Dribbble, a show & tell site for designers, where he leads software development and product design.

He’s built web applications for the last fifteen years at both blue chips and startups, but is happiest playing a big role on a small team, designing and developing products. He lives in Salem, Massachusetts with his wife and two children.
