Meet the great-grandfather of responsive web design

We're pleased to announce that the great-grandfather of responsive web design, John Allsopp, has joined the impressive list of speakers at our September event Generate London.

One of the great thinkers of the web design era, Allsopp's article A Dao of Web Design was cited as a key influence by Ethan Marcotte in the development of responsive web design, earning him the semi-official title 'great-grandfather of RWD'.

The author of Developing with Web Standards, and founder of one of the earliest web conferences, Web Directions, he's one of the best speakers on the circuit.
