Design for Web and mobile is evolving at a rapid pace. What are the trends and bold ideas that will help you work smarter, faster and more effectively? Join author and design expert Jason Cranford Teague and WebVisions executive director Brad Smith for conversation and drinks. Jason will sign copies of his books “Speaking in Styles” and “CSS3: Visual Quickstart Guide” (both available for purchase). Have a beer, chat, connect, ask questions. This is your chance.

WebVisions (http://www.webvisionsevent.com) is a nationally recognized conference that explores the future of Web and mobile design, user experience, and business strategy. It’s all about collaboration, connecting and uncovering new ideas, and we’re announcing upcoming shows for Atlanta (November 17 and 18, 2011) and New York City (January 19 and 20, 2012).
