    <full-description>By the name of 'Design by Fire' Chi Nederland, the Dutch local chapter of ACM SIGCHI, organizes an international conference on interaction design. The event offers an inspiring stage for interaction, information, interface and experience designers.

After the success in 2007 a second edition was inevitable. We are very pleased with the speakers on the program for this year:

:: Brendan Dawes (Creative Director for magneticNorth, UK) will take care of an inspiring keynote titled 'C30, C60, C90, GO!'. 

:: August de los Reyes, Principal Experience Architect for Microsoft Surface, will share his expertise in designing for natural user interfaces.

:: Marthijn Pool, senior project architect at ONL (NL) will introduce their groundbreaking interactive architecture.

:: Thomas K&#252;ber, Interaction Designer at D-LABS (D), will show the results of their 'Design Led Innovation' approach.

:: Gert Hans Berghuis, founder of Fabrique Communication &amp; Design (NL), will discuss the art of designing for user generated content.

:: Jonathan Arnowitz, User Experience Architect with Google will talk about creativity, innovation and design in a world of technology.
There will be enough time for the audience to participate in a discussion after each presentation.

Design by Fire 2008 will take place on Tuesday 21 October in Media Plaza, Utrecht, The Netherlands. 

Join 150 interaction, interface, information and experience designers and be part of this inspiring event. Early birds are rewarded with a 30 euro discount. Members of IxDA and ACM SIGCHI are entitled to an additional discount.
