GO TO THIS YEAR'S CONFERENCE!

Design for good or evil?

How can we ensure that our products and services are good and avoid them being evil? Where does our experience of a service or product begin? In what contexts has evil design been developed? When do we really design good things? Is it enough with the intention that we are developing/implementing good design? And when do we create real value for the target groups and our customers?

This conference will highlight different parts of the design process in the production of products and services. We are having lectures and workshops the whole day. We’ll review Work Methods, Digital design, Predictive Analysis, Test, UX Design and Strategy. If you want you can participate in the workshop "Design your business", you can also try Tobii's latest Eyetracking products. Or, try the tools you can use in your organization to collect feedback using Usabilla.

Join us as we explore the secrets of great UX within large organizations and innovative companies and why they are doing Good vs. Evil.

Our keynote speaker is Pamela Pavliscak who will speak about "How to Create a Future with Feeling". We have started to release our other speakers and the last speakers will be announced shortly, same goes for the schedule. We'll have limited spots so get your ticket now!

Date: 8 November 2018 (World Usability Day)

Keynote speaker

Pamela Pavliscak

Pamela studies our conflicted emotional relationship with technology. Her work is part deep dive research, part data science. As a researcher, she creates experiments that challenge us to see technology—and ourselves—in new ways. Whether documenting new internet emotions or asking people to confront their digital alter egos or prototype companion bots, Pamela’s work is aimed at understanding how technology can help us be human.

As founder of Change Sciences, she collaborates with visionary organizations including Google, IKEA, Accenture, and Virgin. She’s leading the development of a next-generation research platform, SoundingBox, to better understand human experience with technology. Pamela is also faculty at Pratt Institute in NYC where she teaches the next generation of designers about the emotional side of technology. Pamela’s work has appeared in The New York Times, NPR, Slate, and Quartz. She’s spoken at SXSW, Web Summit, TNW, and TEDx. Her book on Emotionally Intelligent Design maps out how we can create a more empathetic future by blending machine and human emotional intelligence.
