UX Week Speaker Don Norman on 60 Minutes; Early Registration Extended One Week
by petermeUX Week 2008 keynote speaker Don Norman appeared last night on a 60 Minutes segment titled, “Get Me The Geeks!”, about the rise in tech support services as technology gets more complicated.
In other events news, we’ve extended our early registration deadline by one week. You can continue to save big through January 4.
Updates on our upcoming San Francisco events (not all reflected on their specific pages yet):
UX Intensive, February 19-22. Perhaps the most common feedback we’ve received from prior UX Intensive workshops is for the Interaction Design day to be even more advanced, and with more activities. Dan has heeded the call, and has revamped the entire day, structured around a series of 5 hands-on design exercises. Organizations represented by delegates attending UX Intensive include Google (22 attendees!), Stanford University, Humana, Wells Fargo, Oracle, St. David’s Healthcare, Target, Scripps Network, eBay, and Caterpillar.
MX San Francisco, April 21-22. The web page for the event needs an overhaul, but I can tell you that we’ve begun lining up some great speakers, including Peter Coughlan, the head of the transformation practice for IDEO; Chip Conley, CEO of boutique hotel chain Joie de Vivre Hospitality and author of the recently published book PEAK: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow.
UX Week 2008, August 12-15. Over time, UX Week evolved from a hands-on workshop to a conference of ideas. Delegates missed the skills-building, so this year we’ve decided to fuse the two — mornings will feature brief presentations on crucial experience design concepts, and afternoons will offer a range of longer presentations and workshops to provide concrete takeaways. We will have to limit numbers in these afternoon sessions to ensure a quality experience, so we’re going to be offering priority placement to those who sign up earliest. Sign ups will begin once all the afternoon sessions have been decided. Organizations attending UX Week include eBay, Cooper, McKinsey and Company, Wells Fargo, Continental Airlines, Walgreens Health Services, Humana, and the New York Public Library.
