  • feels like it's become just another channel for spam and self-promotion. is it just the arrival of the mainstream? like when aol hit usenet? 1 day ago
  • Twitter's shine is officially gone for me. maybe I'm just tired, or its the global economic collapse, bit I'm finding it hard to tweet. 1 day ago
  • Thinking of writing a song about conference rooms and how much alike they all are. Sort of like "homeward bound" by S&G but not as good 2 days ago

Boston IxDA Nano Conference Thursday 6/26/08

Tagged with: , , , , , , , — John @ 1:49 pm

Boston IxDA(via Boston IxDA)

The Boston chapter of the Interaction Design Association is hosting a night of short talks - I imagine something like Pecha Kucha or Ignite! - this Thursday (June 26th, 2008) 6pm-9pm at Bentley College. RSVP required

Planned speakers:

  • Juhan Sonin: Design and Open Source Software
  • Jeremy Merle: Designing in an Agile Environment
  • Ian Muir: Designer-Developer collaboration
  • Jesse Beach: HTML5 Heads Up
  • Jared Spool: What’s the Best Way to Compare Multiple Design Alternatives?
  • Christa Houlahan: Search, Beyond the Box
  • Matt McKeon: Many Eyes, Visualisation in the hands of the people.
  • Michael Hawley: Next Generation Interaction Paradigms
  • Kris Engdahl: Using Reality Maps for Task Analysis

Looking forward to it - hopefully I’ll be able to blog a bit about some of the presentations.

I really want to come, but I don’t know where at Bently it is being held.

John Says:

Ellen - if you click on the Boston IxDA link above you’ll find all the info you need.

It’s the LaCava building at Bentley - which is B52 and B53 on this map.

Toralv Berge Says:

I think I may have found what I was looking for.

pauric Says:

Great to see you there John, thanks for offering to talk at our next event. Do you think we could get away with 2 or 3 events a year?
