Tuesday October 20th 2009, Spoorwegmuseum Utrecht (NL) For the third year in a row IxDA Nederland and Chi Nederland organize an international conference on interaction design. The event, by the name of 'Design by Fire 2009', offers an inspiring stage for interaction, information, interface and experience designers.
THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM The 2009 program is shaping up nicely. We are very pleased with the speakers who confirmed so far: * Robert Hoekman, Jr., author of Designing the Obvious, Designing the Moment and the upcoming Web Anatomy, accepted our invitation to keynote at this year's conference. He will address the topic of Interaction Design Frameworks; * James Box & Cennydd Bowles, UX Designers at Clearleft, will examine parallels between music and interaction design, including harmony, genre, rhythm, fashion and emotion; * Tom Jenkins, working as a Design Specialist in the Service and UI Design team at Nokia Design, will give suggestions for communicating new interactions; * Alrik Koudenburg, a curious and analytical design director, will talk about the importance to keep taking risks, about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable to come up with fresh new work; * Ronald Mannak, founder and CEO at Monodomo (formerly 1uptoys), will present a case study showing how to develop a successful product with an innovative user interface and a rich user experience; * Matt Jones, co-founder and lead designer at Dopplr.com, will examine how great UX design can maximize the services' benefits and impact. Like previous years, there will be enough time for the audience to participate in discussions after each presentation.
