The pioneering web design conference in Asia returns for the 8th time on September 16 at The Globe Tower, featuring a full day of learning from top names in the industry & developing camaraderie among colleagues.
Keeping up with what’s trendy seems to be all the rage these days, whether it’s a unicorn frappuccino or the Web. Remember when “Skeuomorphism” was hot—until it wasn’t, and “Flat Design” took over? Whenever we ask the community which topics they’d like to hear, one way or another the word “Trends” winds up on the list, often at the top.
We believe that learning design & development is much more than knowing this viral aesthetic or that buzzy framework. In organizing the Form Function & Class conference, it’s always been our priority to train for fundamentals & essentials, resilient to our constantly evolving industry
We’re also inspired by what previous FFC speaker Brad Frost wrote: “The bi-directional & interactive nature of the web adds many more dimensions to what constitutes good design. Speed, screen size, environment, technological capabilities, form-factor, ergonomics, usability, accessibility, context, and user preferences must be considered if we want to create great work for this brave new digital world.”
At Form Function & Class, we aim to equip you with knowledge & techniques so you can create a good design in all these different dimensions.

About the Conference
The name of our conference alludes to the 3 elements of a website: <form> from HTML, function() from JavaScript, .class from CSS. It also refers to 3 concepts central to the craft: form, function, and continuous learning.
FFC8 will be held on September 16, 2017, at The Globe Tower, Taguig. For a glimpse of what happens at the conference, you can read last year’s Event Report or watch videos on your YouTube channel.
About the Organizer
Form Function & Class is organized by the Philippine Web Designers Organization (PWDO), non-profit volunteer group that aims to uplift the state of web design in the country. Besides our flagship event, we also organize MiniFFC meetups, workshops, and roadshows.
