Here we are, halfway through the 10s and 2015. And the year still has quite a few conferences in store for us. 2015 has some surprises left in it. What consequences will speakers draw from the Google I/O? What's coming in the IoT departments near you? With so much happening in the industry, conference organizers have done their best to keep you up to date. Take a look at some of the great conferences that will close this year's conference year.

Conferences are about gathering information and knowledge, but they're also opportunities to get to know other like-minded folks in the web design community. Keep in mind that there's always a benefit to attending any event, and a strong chance that you'll be exposed to a large amount of new information, so be prepared to absorb the latest techniques brought to you by distinguished authors and speakers.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone for leaving comments in the previous round-up — they were truly helpful. I admit, I may have missed or forgotten to mention a conference (or two) in today's round-up, but please don't hesitate to leave a comment below in the comments section and I'll be sure to add it to this list as soon as possible.

The list is quite lengthy, so let’s dive in.
