About This Event

Throughout their days, people are engaging with complex information to manage their lives.

And designers now realize that information isn't simply this stuff you find -- the appropriate presentation of information helps people make sense of the world around them.

This conference addresses issues of design for an always-on, always-connected world. Where "cyberspace" is a meaningless term because the online and offline worlds cannot be made distinct. Where physical spaces are so complex that detailed wayfinding is necessary to navigate them. Where work processes have become so involved, and so digitized, that we need new processes to manage those processes.

This conference brings together people who are addressing these challenges head on. Speakers from a variety of backgrounds will discuss designing complex information spaces in the physical and virtual worlds.

Speakers include...
* David Armano, VP Experience Design, Critical Mass
* Chris Crawford, Author & Inventor, Storytron
* Bill DeRouchey, Sr. Interaction Designer, Ziba Design
* Aradhana Goel, Service Design Strategist, IDEO
* Andrew Hinton, Lead Information Architect, Vanguard
* Jason Kunesh, Independent Design Professional

and more.
