To take home with you...
DUX 2005 attendees will have an opportunity to take alot of things home with them following the conference.
Would you like to take home a SONY PlayStation? Champion sponsor SAP plans to have a drawing for 2 or 3 PlayStations during the conference; be sure to visit their exhibit for drawing details.
Also be sure to visit Champion sponsor AOL's exhibit where you will be able to pick up your DUX 2005 t-shirt.
Champion sponsor Yahoo! has a mix of goodies it is planning to give away, both at its exhibit and during the Yahoo! coffee breaks. (The Yahoo! folks asked me to keep the details of their give-aways a secret, but I think you'll find them highly desirable.)
And you'll have an opportunity to accumulate alot of good reading materials. Among them, three outstanding magazines:
Ambidextrous Magazine is a project of the Stanford d.school. It is an independent magazine for the wider design community, which seeks to include everyone involved and interested in design, from engineers and ethnographers, to psychologists and philosophers. Ambidextrous exposes the people and processes of design. The magazine is geared toward high subscriber participation and interaction. It is expressly designed to be informal, irreverent, and fun to read.Interactions Magazine is the HCI magazine dedicated to the practitioner. The magazine tries to be the voice of today's user experience designers, in much the same way that DUX is their conference. The magazine is a publication of ACM SIGCHI but is open to involvement from many different groups. Authors and contributors of the magazine represent groups such as ACM SIGGRAPH, IxDA, AIGA, IDSA, UPA, etc. The magazine remains an open venue for thought-provoking commentary, helpful techniques and methods, and the occasional humorous piece.
I.D. Magazine is America's leading critical magazine covering the art, business and culture of design. Winner of five National Magazine Awards -- four for General Excellence (1995, 1997 and 1999, 2000) and one for Design (1997) -- the publication appears eight times a year. Issues include the Annual Design Review, America's largest and most prestigious juried design-recognition program, published since 1954. The Design Review showcases the best American and international design in the areas of Consumer Products, Furniture, Equipment, Environments, Packaging, Graphics, Concepts and Student Projects.
So, if you are traveling to DUX 2005 from outside of the San Francisco Bay Area, leave abit of extra space in your luggage.
