March 25, 2015 at 09:11ProfsoUX 2015 Conference: Review of Speech Applications
ProfsoUX is, without a doubt, the main Russian conference for UX professionals and all who are interested in the convenience of interfaces and services, usability, UX (User eXperience), etc. etc. It has been held since 2012 by the UX SPb community in St. Petersburg ( ProfsoUX 14 Habro Report ).
This year, the orgies received about fifty applications for performances. These are approximately 6 text screens, if you bring them all into one table. The organizers asked me, as an experienced habro-observer, to evaluate these very applications.
It’s clear that in these usabilities of yours I’m like a pig in oranges, and therefore I looked at applications from my amateur bell tower. I was interested in the following: I have long noticed that applications for speeches are of particular value because they showThe average hospital temperature is a slice of an industry at a particular point in time. And perhaps this is true for any professional conference: people say as a topic exactly what hurts, what they want to talk about. No matter what field they work in.
Below is a brief overview of applications for speaking at Profsoux 15. For convenience, I have broken them into thematic blocks.
Part of the applications is devoted to new approaches or deeper consideration of traditional UX techniques: user research, design, UX testing.
Based on their experience, the speakers are ready to answer these questions to the conference participants.
Here are some of the applications in this block:
Many applications are devoted to the organization of the workflow of a UX specialist. How to build relationships with customers and colleagues? How to prioritize tasks? How to become a leader? This year, UX experts want to talk about the interaction of designers and designers, the fallacies of young professionals and understanding their business not as work, but as art.
Another conditional block of applications can be combined with the words "Everywhere has its own specifics." Different devices, customers, products and end users require a special approach. Experts working with Smart TV, mobile games, emails, sophisticated systems for professionals (shipbuilding, medicine ...) and even self-checkout counters offer their experience to share. How to design for geeks and is there a design in B2B?
Another series of speakers wants to “see the world wider” and invite participants to pay attention to related specialties. The experts will equip the audience with an arsenal of business analysts, explain what programming techniques can be applied in work and how to go all the way with the product from idea to final, make friends with marketing and teach how to analyze the market and apply the KPI business.
I am glad that among the listed applications there are many strong and intriguing. Now the program committee has a difficult job to review, listen to and select the best in ProfsoUX's program.
Other formats are also discussed: blitz reports, round tables, discussions, as well as a special perversion: analysis of the conference’s mobile application. The latter will take place at the request of the application developers themselves.
