Voting open for SXSW 2009
Last week, I submitted two presentations to SXSW 2009, and now it is up to you (and the rest of the web) to decide whether or not I make the cut.
Presenting at SXSW in 2007 was a great experience, and attending earlier this year was a blast, so I made it a goal to prepare and pitch at least one topic for 2009. Fortunately I had one close at hand, having presented at Tech Cocktail Conference this spring. I rummaged through my brain for another idea that was interesting to me, and hopefully to at least some of you. Here is what I came up with:
User Experience Without Design
Web user experience is virtually synonymous with design. But there are plenty of other factors that will make or break the user experience of your web-based product, service, or publication. This presentation introduces holistic user experience design and proposes a number of ways to improve the user experience… without design.
Getting Thing Done the Simple Way
There are dozens of applications promising to help you get things done. But most are complex and proprietary, better adapted for fiddling than actually working. Learn how to apply David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” using plain text, paper, and the email and calendar you are already using.
Please take a minute to visit the SXSW Panel Picker and place your votes (voting closes on August 29). If you have questions or feedback, feel free to email me (john@zeratsky.com) or leave a comment on the SXSW site. Thanks!
