About this block

Conference Grid shows the full set of events a speaker has appeared at as a wordmark grid: 12 conferences from Config to MagicConf, each cell naming the event and its years in tabular-nums. The header counts the set precisely, 12 conferences from 2022 to 2025, and the lede notes that some are annual returns while others were a one-time invite accepted because the audience felt right.

Conferences are one array in a gap-px grid that uses bg-card fills to create a ruled tile effect. The year sub-line per cell is the distinctive detail, it shows return appearances without a separate list.

When to use

Reach for this block as the social-proof band on a speaker page or below the keynote feature. The installer swaps the conference names and year strings, keeps only the events they have actually spoken at, and updates the header count.

A natural flow around it on a Portfolio Pro page:

Before

• Keynote feature
• Speaker stats

After

• Talks list
• Speaker bio

What you can display

One strong use is the all-conferences wordmark proof strip. Other grid layouts:

• With logos. Brand SVG marks inside each cell for well-known events that supply high-contrast assets.
• Highlighted returns. A small badge on cells where the speaker has appeared more than once.
• Filtered by topic. Category chips narrowing the grid to design, engineering, or leadership events.

Tip: the year sub-line per cell earns more trust than a count alone; returning to the same event twice signals the audience asked them back.
