Programme

Workshops

Workshop days are divided across three tracks so there will always be something for everyone. You can change tracks at anytime although workshop capacity is limited and seating is on a first come first served basis.

• Morning Sessions

  9:00 - 12:30

  • Introduction to Axure

    Fred Beecher

    Lead UX Consultant Evantage Consulting

    Have you been struggling to wireframe rich website experiences? Interactive prototypes communicate those experiences much more effectively, and they allow you to integrate effective and iterative usability testing besides.

    Room: Green 1

  • Methods of Design Synthesis

    Jon Kolko

    Author of Thoughts on Interaction Design

    User-centered design research activities produce an enormous quantity of raw data, which must be systematically and rigorously analyzed in order to extract meaning and insight.

    Room: Ocean Suite

  • Content Strategy Will Save UX

    Kristina Halvorson

    Author of Content Strategy for the Web

    Content is often the number one reason people come to your website. But content is hard to deal with, which means it often doesn’t turn out the way we’d quite planned.

    Room: Blue 3 & 4

  • The UX Team of One Bootcamp

    Leah Buley

    Principal Designer at Intuit

    UX teams of one are the most important people working in our field today. They’re the boots on the ground, spreading user experience to products and people who have never encountered it before.

• Lunch

  12:30 - 14:00

• Afternoon Sessions

  14:00 - 17:30

  • The Quest for Emotional Engagement: Information Visualization

    Stephen Anderson

    Author of Seductive Interaction Design

    Ready access to information is great. But many times there is too much information, too much data, or too many options to make sense of.

    Room: Blue 2

  • Mobile Input

    Luke Wrob­lew­ski

    Co-founder of Bagcheck, author of Mobile First

    Not only can we make input on mobile faster, easier, and more fault tolerant by focusing on detailed design decisions, we can go beyond traditional modes of input by taking advantage of the unique things only mobile devices can do.

    Room: Blue 3 & 4

  • Lean UX for Product Innovators

    Janice Fraser

    Founder of LUXr, co-founder of Adaptive Path

    Lean UX isn’t a new brand of UX, it’s an approach for employing classic user-centered design in a specific context. Lean Startup has prepared the business community to love what you do.

    Room: Green 1

  • Design for User Experience

    Dan Rubin

    Designer, singer, photographer, polymath

    It’s clear now more than ever that building for the web, mobile, and other devices is akin to product design, not graphic design: Everyone involved is a member of a design team; our roles are design-centric regardless of our title.

    Room: Ocean Suite
