Author -

The first official live event for the well-liked utility-first CSS framework Tailwind Connect 2023 may have come to your attention if you're a fan of Tailwind CSS. On June 20, 2023, the event was held at Cambridge, Ontario's Tapestry Hall and was a huge success.

To unite the community in a welcoming setting to share experiences and learn about the most recent advancements in Tailwind CSS, the Tailwind CSS team, led by Adam Wathan and Steve Schoger, organized Tailwind Connect 2023.

Over 150 people worldwide came to the event to network and take in the presentations and food. The event's high point was a preview of a few new functions and enhancements that the Tailwind CSS team has been working on, including:

  • Tailwind UI is a group of stunning and fully responsive elements created with Tailwind CSS.
  • Tailwind JIT is a just-in-time compiler that creates your styles as needed. As a result, builds happen more quickly, and files are more diminutive.
  • You can practice using Tailwind CSS in an online playground called Tailwind Play without installing anything.
  • The Tailwind CSS team provides advice on how to use Tailwind CSS on the Tailwind Labs YouTube channel.

The Tailwind CSS team, who was amiable and approachable, welcomed questions and comments from the attendees. The event ended after the raffle, which featured fabulous prizes like Tailwind CSS stickers, t-shirts, and books.

Everyone who attended Tailwind Connect 2023 thought it was a special event. It was an opportunity to learn more about Tailwind CSS and network with other developers and designers with a similar passion for quickly building stunning and valuable websites.
