The events take place over two days and every edition has over 500 attendees. The core of the conference is a wide mix of web related topics, spiced up with non web sessions. Presentations go from CSS to type design, graphic design to technical. During the days before and after the conference there are multiple side-events and full-day workshops that dive deep into related topics.

I met Marc, at his home office in Krefeld. There we chatted about how he became a full time conference organizer and how he curates the perfect line-up for beyond tellerrand with the latest insights, massive inspiration and hosts interesting side-events. He also let us in on a little thing called #madswag, on which Marc wrote a very open article explaining every consideration he makes getting the wright swag at beyond tellerrand.

There is no real signature drink. But I like gin and whiskey. At the event we’ve tried craft beer, but in Germany that is not really big yet. The closing party serves beer, wine and non alcoholic drinks. But maybe in the future it would be nice to have a whiskey tasting experience!
