[01] About

Edition 04

Northlight is a three-day gathering for people who design and build digital products. Sharp talks, honest workshops and the people behind them, without the sales pitch.

Now in its fourth year, Northlight brings designers, engineers and founders together to share what works, what failed and what comes next.
