My proposal has been accepted for a “birds of a feather” session at the O’Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference next week:
User-Experience Design and the Next Levels of the Web
Date: 05/14/2002
Time: 7:00pm – 8:00pm
Location: BayshoreModerated by: Matt Jones, BBC New Media
Web services, The Semantic Web, P2P, WiFi – the emerging technologies being discussed at this conference are being examined primarily within a business and technology context.
This BOF session will try and explore the user-experience, usability and design issues that they throw up.
We’ll try and have some informal talks about the technology – and get beyond the buzzphrases. Construct scenarios that look at the design opportunities they present, and also the challenges to the skillsets, mindsets and practices commonplace in the design community today.
If you’re attending the conference, please come along and contribute. Should be fun!
