We’re gearing up for another Hang Time … or should we say hang ten? Dribbble’s one-day design conference is headed to Los Angeles this fall. If you’re curious about what Hang Time is all about, check out our recaps from Boston and Seattle. Stay tuned for more details and exciting speaker announcements.
At Dribbble, we have core values that guide how we work. During Hang Time Los Angeles, we’ll be exploring the willingness to Try New Things. To our team, that means we seek constant and never-ending improvement. We test new ideas and take intelligent risks. We aim to improve what matters most. You’ll leave Hang Time LA with some valuable takeaways on how to do your best work.
Inspiring & educational talks by some of the most respected leaders in design.
An amazing opportunity to hang with other designers, talk shop, and meet the Dribbble team!
You’ll get a swag bag chock-full of goodies from Dribbble and our amazing sponsors.
An amazing after-party with hands-on-activities, drinks n’ snacks, and merch shops.
Rise and grind! We have a special opportunity to host a workshop before Hang Time LA begins. This workshop by creative studio DKNG will cover the essential steps founders Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman take with every new project—from concept development, team brainstorming, providing constructive criticism and feedback, art direction, composition, adding layers of meaning, to final execution.
Workshop participants will team up in pairs to follow a design brief using the concept of play and construction using arts & crafts materials as a gateway to explore DKNG’s collaborative creative process. Taking each other’s strengths and weaknesses into consideration, each pair will learn to work as a team, leaning on each other’s unique skill sets to build a collaborative project.
Please note: This workshop is limited to 50 people. This ticket is for the 2-hour workshop only, separate from the Hang Time LA conference.

“#Hangtime with @dribbble yesterday was the inspiration I needed. Totally nerded out getting to meet @debbiemillman — ‘Do not be afraid to want a lot.’”
“Hang Time packed more content, learning opportunities, and straight-up fun into one day than should be humanly possible. The group of folks I attended with all left energized—with heads full of new ideas, ready to take on the world.”
