Very soon indeed we will open up a new part of the world for us, new country, new experience area. We are going to talk about BEM at Meta Refresh 2013 in India that will take place in Bangalore on Feb 22-23, 2013.

Meta Refresh is a conference on the construction of user experience on the web. It's one of the biggest front-end conference in South-East Asia that brought together more than 20 tech talks last year that were dedicated to practical experience of tools and technologies.

The 2013 edition is about letting go. It’s about learning the skills necessary to build experiences which cannot possibly exist in any medium apart from the internet. The conference is about to bring together professionals not only from South-East Asia but from Australia, USA, Switzerland. Conference will showcase people who have a deep understanding of what the internet is and what it can be: people who have built experiences and can tell you what they have learnt.

BEM team will be among them. In her presentation Varya Stepanova will talk about our way of front-end development, how and for what reasons BEM was created, why BEM way of development, in our point of view, is the easiest and cheapest way, what are the benefits of BEM development.

While preparing for the conference we publish material that might be interesting and useful to you: Starting your own BEM project.
