@maralqThe interface is the brand — opening keynote on why UI is the loudest thing you ship.
14–15 May 2027 · Funkhaus Berlin
Two days on the craft of interfaces — design systems, tokens, motion, and the people who ship them.
Speakers
Eight practitioners who run tokens, motion, and accessibility at real scale — no vendor keynotes, no slideware filler.
The interface is the brand — opening keynote on why UI is the loudest thing you ship.
Design tokens at 40 brands — what survives when one system serves everyone.
The death and rebirth of the style guide — living documentation that stays alive.
Motion as a token — easing, duration, and choreography as first-class design decisions.
Accessible by construction — systems where the accessible path is the easy path.
One codebase, four platforms — shipping web, iOS, Android, and desktop from one www/.
Undesigning the dashboard — what analytics UI looks like when you delete the noise.
Theming a real product live — a workshop where one token file reskins a shipping app.
Schedule
Single track by design — everyone sees everything, and the hallway conversations stay shared.
Tickets
Every ticket covers both days, lunch, and the afterparty. Workshops are a separate seat because space is genuinely limited.
The first 150 seats. Gone in eleven days — thank you.
Full conference, both days. Talks, lunch, coffee that isn't sad, afterparty.
Five Regular tickets, one invoice, seats together if you want them.
One half-day workshop seat, laptop required. Add it to any ticket.
Venue
East Berlin's old radio complex: timber halls, river terrace, and enough studios to run workshops without shouting over each other.
14–15 May 2027
Tickets are transferable until 1 May, refundable until 1 April. If your budget approval is slow, we'll hold a seat — just write.
