I’m extremely excited today, because tomorrow I’ll be getting on a plane to Savannah, Georgia for IxDA’s annual conference: Interaction 10. My excitement stems from several sources. First, as a local leader for the NYC chapter of IxDA, I’m fully committed to supporting and evangelizing IxDA’s mission and I’m pumped to be surrounded by others that feel the same. Second, this is my very first interaction design / user experience design conference and I’m completely curious as to what’s in store and can’t wait to learn all that I’m about to learn. Third, I’m so happy to be attending with some very great friends, and am looking forward to being introduced to and talking with more awesomely talented UXers.
Here are only some of the talks that I’m hoping to attend:
Scenarios for Design – Liz Bacon
Designing for Billions – Rapheal Grignani
10 Things I Learned About Being a Design Consultant While Living In the Hospital for a Year – Greg Vassallo
The Human Interface (Or: Why Products Are People, Too) – Christopher Fahey
I would love to hear any advice, suggestions, words of wisdom about what I should expect, what I should look for, etc. This is all new to me, and any and all guidance is welcome. I can’t wait to come back with a full report for everyone!
