Naming things is hard: Conferences

As someone who helped create a conference called Zap Your PRAM, I’m either supremely qualified or completely unqualified to comment on how well conferences are named.

I’ve noticed three conferences lately that I think are particularly well-named:

  • Breakpoint: a conference from BrowserStack, company that makes tools for web developers. Breakpoint is a programming debugging term and a point where responsive web designs change size/layout.
  • SquiggleConf: A web tooling conference for the kind of tools that put red squiggles under your code in your editor.
  • Config: Figma’s design conference. Perfect.
