CreativeMornings isn't a conference but a monthly design event and that is founded/led by Tina Roth Eisenberg: https://www.swiss-miss.com/

Debbie Millman is a fantastic design writer: http://www.debbiemillman.com/books/ I devoured "How to think like a great graphic designer" when I first graduated.

Rachel Andrews is editor at Smashing Mag and has written quite a few books on web design, the more recent ones for A Book Apart: https://abookapart.com/products/the-new-css-layout

And speaking of A Book Apart, Karen McGrane, Erika Hall, and Lara Hogan are all great writers/speakers that have had work published by them.

Well, because nobody else mentioned her, Lea Verou of course: http://lea.verou.me/projects/
