UX Week 2008 – New speakers announced, and the site is live!

by peterme

We’re excited to launch our UX Week 2008 website. It’s still a little rough around the edges, but there’s a lot of great stuff up there if you’re considering the event.

We’ve recently received commitments from some new speakers:

  • Tom Carden and Michal Migurski from Stamen Design will teach a workshop on principles of web-based information visualization
  • Jane McGonigal, alternate reality game designer, is keynoting Day 3
  • Margaret Stewart will lead an in-depth discussion on design management for user experience.
  • Kevin Brooks, researcher at Motorola, has just announced he’s co-authoring a book on Storytelling and User Experience Design. He’ll be teaching a workshop on that subject!
  • Aaron Powers, Human-Robot Interaction Engineer, will be sharing the emerging principles of robot interaction design at iRobot
  • There are still session slots open. We have leads for most everything, and will be announcing them as they commit.

    Check out the schedule for the entire event. You’ll notice that in the afternoon of Day 1 and Day 2, there are 6 workshops running concurrently. We will give priority placement in workshops based on the order in which people register. The earlier you sign up, the greater likelihood you’ll get your most desired workshop!

    Also, you’ll notice a field trip to the Exploratorium! Where we’ll learn how they plan and design their exhibits! And then we’ll get to run around and have fun! Yay!

    Alrighty, that’s enough for now. Register by March 31st to get the current discounted price. Register with the promotion code BLOG for an additional 10% off! Register today!
