Workshop Descriptions:

Day One - Design Strategy. The most stellar design will fail to succeed unless it supports an underlying business strategy. Yet a business strategy is nothing but a plan until it connects with compelling solutions that actually appeal to the target customer. Whether you're a manager or an enterprising practitioner, this workshop provides you with the tools you need to put your designs into business. And vice versa. Led by Adaptive Path's Experience Design Director, Brandon Schauer and Design Strategist, Henning Fischer. Learn more »

Day Two - Design Research. To get through to your customers, you need to know exactly what makes them tick. And that means learning more than just the usual superficial characterizations. What do they want? Need? Crave? What are they really trying to do, and why? With the research frameworks and methods covered in this jam-packed workshop, you'll discover how to unearth deep, practical insights about the people you want to reach most. Guided by Adaptive Path's design researcher, Todd Wilkens and Experience Designer, Paula Wellings. Learn more »

Day Three - Information Architecture. All the design strategy, user research and interaction design in the world isn't going to get customers to the information they need without a sound architecture to guide them. This lesson features an array of practical techniques to help you analyze, model and describe the content on your site. Taught by Chiara Fox, the Senior Information Architect and Kate Rutter, the Senior Practitioner at Adaptive Path. Learn more »

Day Four - Interaction Design. Once you've developed a strategy and completed your research, how do you make a product or service that both engages users and works well? It's up to you to transform the research data into an effective design, and then get that design built. In this session, you'll not only learn how to design for better interactions, you'll also learn how to become a better interaction designer. Led by Andrew Crow, a Senior Experience Designer and Kim Lenox, a Senior Interaction Designer at Adaptive Path. Learn more »

What people are saying about UX Intensive:

"The activities were what made it great — they got our table interacting and it was awesome. It was during the activities that I connected with other people."
— Natala Menezes, Microsoft

"Three things I loved about UX Intensive: 1. presenters who totally know their craft and aren't shy about saying it's at least as much art as science, but that you can develop the art by first learning the science; 2. a room filled with smart, motivated participants who are expert in many things, some included in the conference topics and some not, working very hard with great joy, to everyone's benefit; 3. the whole is totally greater than the sum of the parts."
— Laurie Kalmanson, Request Marketing
