Presentations

Content 3.0 – The topic will cover aspects like the journey of content and the duplicity of content on the Web, thanks to social media and how every individual now has the power to become a content source and distributor. We will also briefly cover interaction patterns (UI) and the nature of content in itself, thus making the talk relevant to all participants.

User Research Techniques – Modern day user experience research methods can now answer a wide range of questions. Knowing various user research techniques is the first step to knowing when to use each method across typical product development phases. This session will walk you through some of the user research techniques that are commonly used.
