  1. UX STRAT 2013 Workshop Reviews

    September 23, 2013

    The inaugural UX STRAT conference began on September 9, 2013, with a full day of pre-conference workshops. Four leading thinkers in UX strategy presented half-day workshops—which at $350 for two half-day workshops were very reasonably priced in comparison to similar workshops at other conferences. Each attendee who signed up for the day of workshops had two choices for the morning and two for the afternoon. The workshops included the following:

    • Morning Workshops
      • “Beyond Business Basics,” by Nathan Shedroff, Chair, MBA in Design Strategy, at California College of the Arts
      • “Customer Journey Mapping: Illustrating the Big Picture,” by Megan Grocki, Experience Strategy Director, and Jonathan Podolsky, Senior Strategist, both at Mad*Pow
    • Afternoon Workshops
      • “Redesigning Business Culture and Thinking Around the Customer,” by Tim Loo, Strategy Director at Foolproof
      • “Lean UX + UX Strat,” by Josh Seiden, Managing Director at Neo

  2. Conference Review: UIE Web App Summit 2007: Part I

    March 6, 2007

    With this review, UXmatters is introducing a new format for conference reviews.—The Editor in Chief

    Hospitality 4.5 stars

    Jared Spool’s User Interface Engineering (UIE) thought the time had come for a UX conference focusing on Web applications and thus produced the first UIE Web App Summit. This conference definitely filled what formerly was an unmet need. The UIE Web App Summit took place at the Monterey Marriott, in Monterey, California, U.S.A., on January 21st through 23rd, 2007. It drew a capacity crowd of 218 people, who had traveled from far and wide to attend the event. While most attendees came from the United States and Canada, nine came from the UK and Europe and four hailed from Oceania and Asia.

    Like other conferences not sponsored by professional associations, the UIE Web App Summit was a fairly pricey event—$1999 for advance registration for all three days—so I was interested in finding out whether attendees felt they got value for their money. Everyone I spoke with was enthusiastic about their conference experience and felt that the content was valuable to them.

    This was an excellent conference! The best I’ve attended in the last three years since starting to write conference reviews for UXmatters. And its content focused on a topic that’s highly relevant to the work of the majority of UX professionals today: Web applications.

    Summit Keynote: Moving Towards Delight: Following the Rapid Evolution of Web-Based Applications

  3. A Day at Frontiers of Interaction 06

    November 20, 2006

    There are not many interaction design conferences in Italy, so you can imagine the interest a conference about the frontiers of interaction design engendered. Frontiers of Interaction 2006—the second edition of this conference—had as its mission the exploration of the future of interaction design. Though I’m Swiss, my native language is Italian, and this topic attracted my attention.

    The event took place in Milan, Italy, at the Bicocca University. The slide shown in Figure 1 provided the backdrop in the hall where the organizers greeted participants. Read More
