Design Slam
What's a "Design Slam"?
During the event, participants will form teams and be introduced to a full-fledged hypothetical project, including appropriate client-side deliverables. The project stakeholders will present their needs, concerns, and preferences to the teams. The teams then have an opportunity to talk with the stakeholders during the exercise. The session will conclude with proposal presentations from each of the groups to the "clients" and any assembled audience, followed by the "clients" team choosing a winner. Members of the winning team will receive a plethora of praise from your peers.
What's in it for me?
This is a chance for interested riders, designers, UX/IxD/IAs, developers, bloggers and marketing professionals to get their hands dirty working side by side with colleagues as they tackle tough business problems in a fun and sometimes crazy environment. Knowledge transfer, technique sharing, and a social atmosphere makes this session stand out from the garden-variety "lecture-and-Powerpoint" presentation.Design Projects
We are going to try something new this time by running three simultaneous projects with two vendor teams for each project. That way people have a chance to work on a project that interests them and we can all learn from the results of the exercise. The projects are:
