Bmoresponsive: first conference for the ‘multi-device web’ in May

The city’s first conference dedicated to the “multi-device web” is happening May 9.
Dubbed Bmoresponsive by organizer Michael Jovel, the conference “is completely focused on creating a dialogue around what it takes to build things for the multi-device web,” he said.
In other words, a design-development conference that will focus on how to make websites and apps display well on the computer screen, tablet screen and smartphone screen — what’s otherwise known as responsive web design.

“The speakers represent a combination of well known conference speakers and some newer faces from the Baltimore and [Washington], D.C., area,” Jovel said. “My hope is that this will be the first step toward giving Baltimore its own annual regional web design conference.”
Bmoresponsive will be May 9, 9 a.m., at the Star-Spangled Banner Flag House in Baltimore city’s Jonestown neighborhood.
Jovel, a 35-year-old front-end developer for the Department of Defense, moved from Baltimore to Hagerstown, Md., about seven years ago, but continues to be involved in the city’s tech scene, he said. He was previously a board member of AIGA Baltimore and spoke at Refresh Baltimore in its earliest days.
Tickets for Bmoresponsive start at $179.
