Web Standards Days, Minsk 2009

Are you still not complying with web standards? Then we go to you!

The first open meeting of the Web Standards Developer Association, which took place in the late autumn of 2007 in St. Petersburg, ended with absolute success. Therefore, it was decided to expand the geography of the association and to organize a series of similar events in Russia, as well as in Ukraine and Belarus.

In implementing the decision, the developer association “Web Standards” presents a new format of events called “Web Standards Days” . The first meeting will take place on November 28, 2009 in Minsk in the conference hall of the Belarus Hotel at ul. Storozhevskaya, 15.
