Confirmed speakers
Jon Kolko
Interaction designer
Jon Kolko is the Founder and Director of Austin Center for Design, an educational institution teaching interaction design and social entrepreneurship.
Speak: The Next Step for Design: Social Entrepreneurship
As designers are increasingly recognized as both thought leaders and the drivers of large-scale change, it’s become evident that we’ve outgrown the traditional contexts of our work – as stewards of organizational change in large corporations, and as hired guns at consultancies. Entrepreneurship provides a third vehicle for design-driven change, yet designers have not traditionally explored this as a viable career path. In this talk, Jon Kolko will describe how a particular form of entrepreneurship – social entrepreneurship – is the new frontier for designers, and will provide illustrations of how a design led, double-bottom line, operationally self-sufficient company can create meaningful and deep impact.

Is there a space on every day living for the social transformation through interaction design?
Traditionally, design is associated with industry needs. In all the history many names worried in how to develop a honest and ethic production of design in the same time they figure out those needs. But, what is the opportunities of a real social impact for de interaction designer today? The speak will be based in 3 cases that I have followed in a couple of years ago, in Recife.

Speak: Interaction Ecologies: Creating the Future Interactive Environment
We live in a complex environment, and we interact with a large number of entities, like everyday utensils but also large-scale information systems. This
environment is an “Interaction Ecology”.
To do Interaction Design in the context of Ubiquitous Computing is to meet the challenges of creating and managing “Interaction Ecologies”, developing
and adjusting “Interaction Niches”.
This talk presents the concepts of “Interaction Ecology” and “Interaction Niches”, and the conceptual tools to understand, design and manage both.
These tools go beyond traditional interaction design abilities, entering complex thinking domains.

Workshops
Mike Kuniavsky
Designing smart things: user experience design for networked devices
The wide availability of many different kinds of network-connected digital devices—from tablets to TVs to bathroom scales and cars—raises deep questions about how to design user experiences for and with those devices.
In this workshop Mike Kuniavsky, author of Smart Things: ubiquitous computing user experience design, will introduce you to concepts of user experience design for the post-PC/post-phone world.
Elizabeth Goodman
Exploratory Research Design
Looking for new approaches to old problems? Going to a new field? Working to improve products and services that already exist? Getting a job through research design can provide very important insights into the work of creating new products and services.
This workshop will teach exploratory inspirational techniques in design research, from games to testing culture. Besides the practical aspects of planning and execution of research, we will discuss the implications of each method for designers, customers and end users.
Isabel Fróes
Design Methods – Towards Design thinking
The technology must always serve us as a tool. Should improve our daily lives by facilitating it. Should expand possibilities intuitively, must adapt and transform itself into a conscious and responsible approach.
Innovation does not necessarily mean something “new” in its origin, sometimes just means a reorganization. Identifying the needs and routines of people reach a greater chance of success, as they become co-authors of a product and not just users.
So, understand how technology coupled with products and services continues to influence, changing and expanding their (our) lives.
Walter Cybis
Monitorando a experiência do usuário

We will also discuss trends, perspectives (Living Labs) and issues of R & D (analytical-oriented Web user experience).

Design Echos
Workshop: Design and Social Innovation
We understand the impact social innovation as a concept of starting to rebuild the world in which we live. We believe that we live in a networked society where we can no longer act in isolation, everything is connected and permeated by relations.
The prevailing thinking should no longer be that of an expert, but the systems thinking where we can map the world and their relationship is constantly evolving.
