More and more details about the program for DUX 2005 have been appearing recently on the conference website. And more are still to come.
Highlights of the three day conference, including some yet to make it onto the website:
- Studio Tours -- a packed day for attendees who take a self-guided visit to San Francisco's premier design studios;
- Tutorials -- half- and full-day sessions on powerful research and design methodologies;
- Special Events -- outstanding opening and closing plenary sessions, along with an invited panel of of design luminaries, festive receptions, book signings, and exhibit activities. (An exciting evening on Thursday, Nov. 3rd will feature 2005 Tony Award-winning actor and MacArthur Award recipient Bill Irwin, comedian and performer Heather Gold, interactive artist J.Walt Adamczyk, and special recognition of World Usability Day. The closing plenary on Saturday, Nov. 5th will offer a unique talk from award winning author and consultant Edward Tenner.)
- Conference Sessions -- a packed program of ~60 agency, industry and academic case studies, research studies, practice studies, sketches and posters, from diverse cultural geographies, spanning a broad range of design exploration. (Unique topics for this year include the e-commerce of diamond buying, context-aware mobile computing, responsive work and home environments, personalized information filtering, and effective means of bridging cultures.)
We'll provide more information about much of the above in upcoming blog entries. But of course, more information can also be found on the conference website.
