Born October 18, 2008: As time goes by with 18 years of WebExpo

Let’s take a walk down memory lane. And get a sweet little promo while you’re at it! Stepping back to 2008, it was a very different time. Sites were responsive more by accident than by design, nested tables ruled supreme, and then there was Internet Explorer. MySpace was checking out, Facebook was becoming the hot […]

Why you should apply to speak at WebExpo 2027

Every year, WebExpo strives to bring a curious, creative, diverse, energetic and practical group of web professionals to Prague. Designers, developers, product managers, marketers and founders all gather in Prague to share what they have learned, spark new collaborations and let great ideas run free. Speakers play a big part in creating this atmosphere, but […]

WebExpo 2026 Wrapped: Discomfort Zone

Part 4 of 4 The first three WebExpo 2026 Wrapped posts in this series judgement, clarity and fundamentals. The Discomfort Zone made it personal: what do those demands cost people? Tucked into the tight Lucerna Small Hall, it felt deliberately different from the rest of WebExpo: less polished case studies, more honest conversation; fewer tool […]

WebExpo 2026 Wrapped: Marble Hall

Part 3 of 4 This series has made two arguments so far: the Great Hall asked for human judgement; Lucerna Cinema showed clarity as a working practice. Marble Hall put both under pressure. This was the room where work got faster: AI rewriting product roles, agentic software building workflows, analytics becoming recommendations, DevOps compressing deployment […]

WebExpo 2026 Wrapped: Lucerna Cinema

Part 2 of 4 From the Great Hall’s case for human judgement, we move into Lucerna Cinema. This was the room of working systems: containers, MCP servers, product maps, typography, authorisation, research engines, Git, contract testing, funnels, refactoring, search visibility and AI adoption. The common thread was clarity. Not tidiness for its own sake. Clarity […]

WebExpo 2026 Wrapped: Lucerna Great Hall

Part 1 of 4 WebExpo turned 18 this year. Old enough to vote, drink and ask the hard questions. The Lucerna Great Hall, our main stage, went straight for the big one: as AI, automation and web platforms accelerate, what still depends on human judgement? Across two days, the room went from flapping drones in […]

Why specialist teams slow product delivery down

At WebExpo 2025, Karel Smutný’s talk, “The path to end-to-end teams”, challenged one of the most common assumptions in product development: that organising people into specialist teams makes organisations more efficient. Karel opened with a simple room survey. Most attendees worked on large-scale products, organised around specific components or functions. But when asked if this […]

WebExpo pre-show: 4 weeks of honest feedback and serious prep

It seems simple. Share a complete presentation to an eagerly awaiting audience. A polished story. Clean slides. A confident delivery from an expert clearly loving the chance to share their knowledge. What you don’t see is everything that happens before that moment. At WebExpo, we have spent a lot of time thinking about that gap. […]

Your team belongs at WebExpo. Here is the proof.

The awkward budget conversation You want to go. Your colleagues want to go. But someone needs to approve the spend, and “it’ll be really good, I promise” rarely survives a finance review. Here is the thing: most people pitch conferences as “I’ll learn stuff.” That is true, but it barely scratches the surface. After 16 […]
