AI has reached that stage of tech life where people are less busy debating it and more busy trying to use it properly. We picked 8 WebExpo talks 🤖 with a practical lens across dev, design, product, leadership and marketing. A small tasting 🍽️, more on the menu.

Every dev wants a fast product. Not every dev knows what's actually slowing it down. 🐢 @tej.as, AI Engineer at IBM, will get elbow-deep in code on stage at WebExpo. Expect performance patterns, rendering strategies, and the product instincts you can't Google your way into.

We are drowning in a sea of sameness. 🌊 Templates. Trends. Safe choices. @mikekus.bsky.social is here to disrupt the pattern. His talk, "Design like no-one is watching," is a manifesto. He'll challenge us to reject peer pressure and resurrect our creative instinct. 🎨

⏳ Hours left to save 1,500 CZK. After midnight, prices go up and this post will haunt you. 👻

"Networking is just friendship with worse PR." 🫂 We wrote the WebExpo guide. Not the obvious one. Pac-Man rule, the confessional Discomfort Zone, the Warm-Up Party where no one has found their people yet, and what to send within a week so the connection doesn't quietly expire.

What happens when you spend weeks conversing with a synthetic voice? You start treating it like a person. 🤖 Anna Bohoněk will argue that voice is a user interface. She will dissect the layers of personality and knowledge. Find out when an AI should speak and when it absolutely shouldn't. 🤐

You cannot avoid ARIA forever. But you can avoid the headaches. 🤕 @ericwbailey.website engineers accessibility for @github.com. He brings his expertise to the WebExpo stage to share the critical lessons he wishes he knew on day one. Avoid the traps. Get the missing manual. 🦾

Why you should (not) network at conferences. 🤔 Confidence, introversion, neurodivergence... all on the table. With @sarka.bsky.social, Eliška Zemanská, Nick Fine, @vitalyf.bsky.social, Johannes Lehner, hosted by Christiane Moser for @ucpxnet.bsky.social & WebExpo. 🗓️ March 24 | 6 PM CET | Online

Your Git history looks like a crime scene. 🩸 Catastrophic rebases. Vicious merge conflicts. Sergès Goma will hand you the weapon. 😈 She will detail how to wreak havoc by force-pushing to main, then offer a plea deal to turn you into a model Gitizen. 😇

The design track is officially feral. 🐯 We're migrating from "pixel-pushing" to "beauty that thinks." The old templates won’t survive. The disruptors: Switch Angel, @mikekus.bsky.social, Nick Fine, Michal Kessel Shitrit, Lorraine Burrell, Gleb Kuznetsov, Katherine Corneilson, @honzatmn.bsky.social

Our dataviz alum @nadiehbremer.com just hatched a masterpiece. 🐣 “Searching for Birds” fuses D3.js with whimsical art to map our curiosity vs. avian reality. It proves that when sculpted correctly, data sings. 🐦 Forage through the interactive story below. 👇

💳 Payments are promises, not money. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. And that’s exactly why your next outage might not be your code’s fault but your PSP’s. At WebExpo 2025, Alvaro Duran Barata delivered one of those quietly explosive talks that make you rethink “solved” problems.

Good design is invisible. Bad accessibility? Everyone notices. 👀 At Tatra banka, Peter Leško built accessibility into every pixel, contrast and focus state. Inclusive design isn’t decoration. It’s infrastructure. Peter’s bringing that mindset to WebExpo. 🎯

🚨 Spoiler from WebExpo 2025: If you get lost in hospitals 🏥, it’s not your fault. It’s a design failure. Ladislava Zbiejczuk Suchá and Michaela Holubec Birtusová showed how fixing broken wayfinding can reduce stress, save time, and cut hospital costs. 😊

What if your most brilliant team members are the ones your workplace quietly filters out? 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s the question @izatlouk.cz will bring to #WebExpo 2026. She will prove that inclusion isn’t an HR checkbox ✅ but a real team upgrade. 🚀

🎧 Can AI actually make good music? Our speaker @clytaemnestra.bsky.social talked with Mateusz Modrzejewski, musician and AI researcher at Warsaw University, about the harmony and headaches of AI-generated tunes. 🤖 They discussed how it works, what artists think and how AI can support creativity.

Is your dashboard yelling numbers instead of insights? 📊 Yoav Shmaria will show at WebExpo how he fed it to an LLM and it came back enlightened. At Similarweb, he builds AI that filters out noise, speeds up decisions, and makes digital intelligence feel, well… intelligent. 🧠

📖 You’re reading this with your eyes. Millions read the world through touch. Today is World Braille Day, celebrating the system that made reading accessible to everyone long before screen readers or alt text existed. Braille made inclusion real. Let’s keep it going. 💛

🤖 AI writes fast. Michal Kessel Shitrit checks if it makes sense. At WebExpo 2026, she’ll tear apart AI-generated UX text ✍️ to reveal what works, what misfires, and how to review it like a pro. Five principles, one goal: clarity over guesswork.

The hidden complexity behind every calendar field. 🗓️ Have you thought deeply about leap years or seconds? Lucky for you, @robinpokorny.bsky.social has and we’ve got his latest post up from his WebExpo 2025 talk.

Afraid of spiders? 🕷️ Fair. Afraid of raising prices? 💰 Most businesses panic. Not Dima Melnik. He’s helped Notino, Rohlík, and Global Payments stop underselling themselves and start cashing in. 🤑 At WebExpo, he’ll unmask how smart pricing makes customers glad to pay more.

🌟 Merry Techmas from the WebExpo crew 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🙋🏼‍♀️🐈 While everyone’s upgrading their wrapping paper skills, we’re debugging cookie recipes and optimising mulled wine performance. 😸 Charlie, our Quality Control Cat, has stress-tested the tree. 🎄 Results: Christmas is ready to deploy! 🎉 Happy holidays! ✨

Products rarely fail because of bad design. 😲 They fail when teams lose sight of how users feel. Christiane Moser helps fix that. 💪 At WebExpo 2026, she’ll talk about product experience mapping 🗺️ as a tool for keeping UX grounded in reality while your product evolves.

Happy Simpsons Day! 🤡 The very first full episode aired in 1989 and somehow predicted everything. 🔮 Smart homes, autocorrect fails, even AI assistants. For 36 years, The Simpsons have been debugging society with jokes and running usability tests on humanity. Still undefeated.
