Design is undergoing a significant social transformation. Whether it’s mass organization facilitated through social media, crowd sourced product development or the increased ease with which consumers can find solutions that meet their individual needs – design is poised to become much more representational of user’s wants. Within this changing landscape the need for a professional rethink has never been greater.
To tackle the Community theme we’ve gathered together a wide range of speakers from Web-based companies like YouTube and Kickstarter to New Orleans-based social entrepreneurs like SENO; mixed in we’ll have experts like Clay Shirky and Grant McCracken to provide insights on how consumers are shifting the conversation through engagement and participation.
Even if you’re not interested in Community, join us anyway. New Orleans is an amazing city, there’s no party quite like it!
Speaker Topics Include:
· DIY, for Large Values of I and Y
· Co-creating with Humanity: Design of Open Systems
· How Consumers Have Reshaped Research Itself
· Computing Digital Traces for Fun and Profit
· Culturematic: Small Machines for Making Culture
· $1M Recipe
