In the early 2000’s design systems changed the way we work. We shifted from designing pages to designing systems of components. We gained new tools and ways of seeing. Those tools prepared us to handle the scale and complexity that comes with designing for every device, everywhere. In 2020 many folks have had to work from home (or live at work depending on how you see it). We are reminded that work and life are connected in complex ways. What does it mean to be in a team today?

Presented by Gretchen McNeely. As UX professionals, we're constantly focused on "why" — why people do what they do, why certain things are important to them. What we sometimes don't realize is that by directly asking "why" — of consumers, of our work colleagues, of our family members — we build walls and evoke defensiveness. The good news is that there are many easy ways to get at the open and personal communication we seek without using the word "why" in our inquiry. Once you try it out, you'll see an amazing difference in your UX work, as a professional, and as a spouse or parent.
Presented by Mark Molander. It's not always enough to have a great UX design, or to run a usability test that reveals a lot of problems. Sometimes, the UXer needs to take the good fight up to another level — to hit them where it hurts — the level of shame. Mark will give examples from his 30 years of usability and UX experience at IBM, BB&T, Toshiba, and Lenovo

What did Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and Rosa Parks have in common? They each had a story that drove them, moved them to action, and ultimately inspired them and those around them to change the world.

In this talk, you will learn how story not only flows through successful businesses and careers, but how to harness tools that you already have at your disposal to to identify, optimize, and ultimately bring your best story to life.
