Online Registration is now open for CREATE 2008
24-25 June 2008, British Computer Society, Covent Garden, London
CREATE 2008 is a 2-day conference about creating innovative interactions, whether digital consumer products, interactive services or interaction paradigms. A conference where the emphasis is on sharing the wealth of creative ideas we have developed to resolve problems, to create new capabilities, or new functions; where the aim is to spawn further creative designs that can make a difference to people.
This year's theme is "embedding people-centred design in the process of innovation". How do we work together as designers and HCI specialists to come up with people-centred design, and how do we work with others to make our designs a reality?
CREATE 2008 will also feature the CREATE Design Showcase - a forum for people to exhibit and discuss their latest ideas. Visitors to the Design Showcase can engage with a range of innovative and adventurous projects and meet the designers who created them.
Keynote speakers include:
* Benedict Davies (Google) "Lost in music: When should a phone not be a phone"
* Lucy Stockbridge (Serco) "Integrating people-centred design and innovation processes"
* Britta Burlin (Whirlpool) "Useful, usable & desirable: how Whirlpool Corporation finds balance in product development"
Please note that registration closes on Thursday 19 June.
