Deadline extended to March 17th
The Industry Track at PDC14<http://www.pdc2014.org/>
We invite your participation in an international dialogue addressing one of the most important factors in the success of development and design projects – namely, stakeholder engagement, consultation, inclusion and collaboration. Sharing your experiences and expectations will help strengthen the conversation between academics developing participatory approaches and those of you who have everyday experiences with multi-stakeholder design and development projects. And your involvement will make a contribution to a growing international body of knowledge on practices and lessons learned in participatory design.
The Participatory Design (PD) Conference is an important venue for international discussion of the collaborative, social, and political dimensions of technology innovation and use. Techniques, technologies and perspectives that underpin participatory design are shared in vibrant and critical debates, presentations, and panel sessions.
The Industry Track supports and enables collaboration between international and local researchers and industry practitioners from commercial, government and not-for-profit sectors around the topic of participation. We encourage practitioners who are working with participatory methods or are interested in introducing such approaches to their workplaces to attend and learn, share and collaborate. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear local and international practitioners from various fields report on new research, methods and approaches. Case studies in the industry track will present PD outside an academic context and illustrate new and innovative approaches for addressing the challenges and opportunities of participation across commercial, government and not-for-profit sectors.
Suggested Industry Track topics
While we are open to other topics, we welcome contributions addressing one or more of the following:
• Success stories of stakeholder collaboration
• ‘War stories’ of the challenge of participatory engagements
• Perspectives on new consultative paradigms
• Innovative co-design of applications, products and services
• Collaborative uses of technologies
• Programs with community and constituent participatory involvement
Contributing to the Industry Track
We encourage contributions from practitioners who might not ordinarily attend the PD conference, but who are grappling with the complexities of participation or who are experimenting with novel approaches of collaboration. You can submit either an expression of interest or a written industry case. Description of these 2 options is available at http://pdc2014.org/index.php/industry-cases
