Get yourself down (or up) to Leeds for one of the best conferences in the UK. Already set an alarm in my phone so I don't miss getting a ticket!

This week, we launch the 2026 conference, signalling ten years of All Day Hey! A lot has changed in ten years, and we have a lot to celebrate. We're not holding back on this one.

Unsurprisingly, this latest talk that's starting with reflection, resonates hard. Partly because Imran's talk from @ffconf.org last year hit hard ffconf.org/talks/2024_i... (Massive hat tip to @heypresents.com event since I absolutely pinched him from)

Hey #WDC2025, if you want a talk to watch on the way home, my talk from @heypresents.com was published today! I make some Daft Punk with a MIDI controller and a web browser.

Thank you for shouting out to the community which includes @beyondtellerrand.com @ffconf.org @frontendnorth.bsky.social @heypresents.com @inclusivedesign24.bsky.social @pixelpioneers.co @webdevconf.com

Our final talk from All Day Hey! 2025 was from the incredible Katie Fenn with "Around the wwworld: Web MIDI, Web AUDIO and what the web does best".

In this weeks Off Script podcast, I talk to @mrjameshall.bsky.social about the bullshit of awards that significantly profit off the communities they're claiming to support.

I've just remembered (thanks to @joshnesbitt.dev) that the infamous fly swatting > "turrah" moment is not available for all to enjoy

Our seventh talk from All Day Hey! 2025 was from the wonderful @bell.bz with "Get the core right and the resilient code will follow".

Our sixth talk from All Day Hey! 2025 was a lightning talk from Imran Hussain with "With great community comes great responsibility". Imran, who runs one of the UK’s biggest design communities for the GOV.UK Design System, explores the challenges of ethical community design.

Our fifth talk from All Day Hey! 2025 was a lightning talk from Ali Farooqui with "What every technologist needs to know about security".

📺 In this weeks episode of Off Script, @mrjameshall.bsky.social and I discuss the significance of pen and paper in an increasingly digital world. We also touch on what you remember in your dreams 💤

Our fourth talk from All Day Hey! 2025 was a lightning talk from Luke Stringer with "Do Repeat Yourself. How to move from development into leadership".

In this weeks episode of Off Script, @mrjameshall.bsky.social and I discuss the concept of user manuals for humans. I loved this chat where we talked a bit about what makes us tick at work.

Our third talk from All Day Hey! 2025 was from the wonderful Sareh Heidari with "No signal, no service: digital exclusion and how to change it".

Our second talk from All Day Hey! 2025 was from the mighty Thalita Vergilio, with "The good news or the bad news?". Her talk was dynamic and thought-provoking, highlighting the possibilities and responsibilities of AI in shaping the future of communication.

In May I got to give my most favourite talk What Do You See: Alt-Text as an Artistic Medium at @heypresents.com Hey! All Day If you missed it live, it’s now up on the world wide web! heypresents.com/talks/what-d...

🧪 Is Test Driven Development actually better now we have AI? Me and @mrjameshall.bsky.social discuss the implications of Test-Driven Development (TDD) in the context of the rapid advancements in AI tools.

We're excited to begin publishing the wonderful talks from this years All Day Hey! conference in Leeds, held on 1st May.

Let's have more AI like this, helping people with disabilities, and less bullshit LLMs and video/ image faking. By @[email protected] tink.uk/using-ray-ba...

If you're still on the fence, I wrote about my experience attending @heypresents.com in May, and it was truly lovely. I got to spend a whole day talking about tech and ideas and life with some very special people. Afraid you won't learn anything? The experience is enough.

I've gotta say, I'm completely blown away by how many people have contributed to this. I fully expected next to nothing but I'm now full of hope. We've got so much good stuff planned. I can't wait for you to see it.

📸 We've published some wonderful photos of the conference last week. Thanks again to everyone that made it down, it was a very special gathering of likeminded folk talking about all things web. See you next year? heypresents.com/conferences/...

nbd just @katiefenn.bsky.social playing Daft Punk’s ‘Around The World’ live on stage at @heypresents.com using JavaScript 😵

Really enjoyed @lolaodelola.bsky.social ‘s talk at @heypresents.com on creative use of alt tags & writing more beautiful descriptions for screen readers. I’ve since spent more time & effort on alt tags & try to make them more poetic. Check out Lola’s work it’s fascinating ✨

One of the highlights of @heypresents.com yesterday was @bell.bz batting away a fly whilst on stage and nonchalantly saying “turrah” as it buzzed away into the distance.

Thank you, everyone! It means so much to us to be able to put All Day Hey! on and you make it all possible. The community, the speakers, our sponsors, the team behind the scenes. A wonderful day that we will remember. 🧡

A few more scribbles from @heypresents.com yesterday. I stopped posting when I became more sociable 😅 Shown here, bits from @sareh88.bsky.social on digital poverty, Imran Hussein on community, @bell.bz on async communication and @katiefenn.bsky.social on web audio/MIDI. Was all so good! #AllDayHey

I can not stop thinking about @lolaodelola.bsky.social @heypresents.com talk from yesterday the concept of `prefers-alt-text` is genius

was such a phenomenal time being at @heypresents.com and meeting all you lovely folks. until the next one ♡

if I could bottle that magical sense of inspiration and wonder that you get from @heypresents.com I'd be a very rich man ✨ was lovely to meet a bunch of old friends and make new ones, thank you for some inspiring and hilarious chats. see you next year! (or at @webdevconf.com? wink wink nudge nudge)

It was such an honour to speak at @heypresents.com for a second time. The conference's vibes are always exquisite. It'll be their tenth year next year too, so I can't wait to come back up to Leeds for that. Big props to @joshtumath.uk for capturing some of the key points too 👇

It was a privilege to be invited back to speak at @heypresents.com All Day Hey! Thank you so much to the whole team. I’ve got a hard day lined up where I’m meeting my MP to ask him to give my human rights back. If you liked my talk, some kind feedback would mean an awful lot today ❤️ #AllDayHey

Thanks for having me @heypresents.com & shout out to the team, it was great! & the best talk I’ve ever given. #AllDayHey I’m an indie standards person & self-fund most of my work but you can help! Consider sponsoring my work & the cool stuff I’m doing 👉🏾 give.lolaslab.co

Had a fantastic time at #AllDayHey @heypresents.com in Leeds. Ninth year it's been running and I finally got to attend! Was a real pleasure to give a talk here. I'm already looking forward to returning this time next year to see folks at the next one! Best part of events like this is the community.

Awesome day today. Thanks @heypresents.com. Gotta jet home for the little one but see you next year !

It’s always a good sign when the venue tells you you’re playing Daft Punk too loud and it’s affecting the screening of Minecraft next door. *turns it up louder*

Live-captioning a tech conference from another timezone must be knackering! Happy to see this from our wonderful stenographer at #AllDayHey.

My notes from Thalita Vergilio’s talk on AI sentiment analysis and such @heypresents.com - not sure these are any use to anyone else but helps me recall #AllDayHey

Hey @heypresents.com attendees, if you're a CSS nerd, I'd love to get your view on a new CSS unit called 'pem' that me and some of the Chrome team are proposing at the CSSWG. We need your feedback on how it will work. Please come and find me if you're interested!

Landing in Leeds around 7:30/8pm tonight for @heypresents.com tomorrow. Bloody excited!
