“Why drive the Prius when you can fly the Millenium Falcon?”

We love a good nerd out and know you do too. That’s why we figured this testimonial from last year’s Web Con would resonate. Connecting with your audience is everything.

We curate relevant content and conversations to help you resonate with your audience. Whether you’re into hyperspace or hypertext markup language, the www force will be with you at Web Con.

Who should attend Web Con?

Anyone! Web Con is open to the public, and professionals from all over the country attend and present. You don’t need to work in tech to learn cool stuff at Web Con.

Our presentations are for anyone working in the online space. Content creators, designers, developers, marketers, data analysts, and others will benefit. Learn from industry leaders, network with experts, and get schooled on latest digital trends.

You’ll leave with actionable insights and fresh perspectives to share with your teams.

Why is Web Con so rad?

Cool stuff you’ll learn:

  • The importance of user experience design.
  • How to follow guidelines that make digital experiences accessible and inclusive.
  • What drives web traffic and grows customer bases.
  • With “the heart of tech” in mind, Web Con also addresses the humanity of our tech-heavy professions. Join us for discussions on critical topics like work/life balance, burnout, neurodiversity in the workplace, and more.

Cost to attend

  • U. of I., UIC, or UIS affiliations: $150-$200
  • Anyone outside the U. of I. System: Early Bird: $150-$250
