Layers 2016
===========
Link: https://bringyourlayers.com/

Second edition of Layers, in San Francisco June 13-15:

  > Layers is a 3-day conference during wwdc to talk about design,
  > celebrate our industry, and eat snacks. Like a party, but for
  > learning.

Speakers include [Christa Mrgan] (occasional [guest of The Talk Show][✪], co-founder of [Civil Comments]), the never-opinionated [Wil Shipley], and [John Hodgman]. Beyond the great lineup, Layers is just a great event: good venue, good food, and most importantly, an excellent full [coffee bar][c]. ([I interviewed legendary designer Susan Kare][sk] at last year's event.)

It's not just coincident with WWDC, it's only two blocks away, and is being [promoted by Apple along with a few other community events][]. Jason Snell said it best last year: [WWDC is now the heart of the Apple world's calendar][js]. Layers is a great way to be a part of it. And, for the next two days, Daring Fireball readers can save $100 on registration with the code "**daringfiresale**".

**[Update]:** More good news: [Layers will be streaming UI-design sessions live from WWDC](https://twitter.com/bringyourlayers/status/738803134848344064).
