You’ve probably heard that people fear public speaking more than death itself - So if you don’t want to do a tech talk you’re not the only one.
Thing is, although you’re a developer sometimes you might find yourself in a situation where you’ll have to present something: A new feature, new architecture, your idea for solving the most annoying bug in your service.
In this workshop you’re going to learn about what you can do to make your tech talks exciting and more appealing to the audience and create your first tech talk presentation!

Growing design into a strategic partner for organizational innovation is a never-ending challenge. It requires resilient design leadership, long-term commitment and a deep understanding of surrounding organizational dynamics. Based on the insights of Giulia’s latest co-authored book Design Leadership Ignited, this workshop will help you set up a long-term plan for scaling design within your organization and identify a set of tactics to get you started with it. The workshop is targeted to professionals leading a design team or aspiring to play such a leading role. Covered topics will include aspects like setting up a design direction, establishing an appropriate design governance, interacting effectively with stakeholders, and nurturing your design team. Furthermore, the workshop will make you reflect on the most appropriate mindset and leadership style to adopt to achieve design excellence.

A workshop on designing for hybrid and mixed realities. Using both play and physical exploration of places, this workshop first provides a human-centered model for design from both personal and system perspectives and perception. The workshop then shows ways in which existing UX and Service Design tools can be augmented to manage product development when users are encountering multiple layers of information thru augmented and virtual reality technologies in hybrid and remote workplaces and homes.

What’s the difference between successful and unsuccessful products and services? And why do some projects and companies succeed while others fail? A good idea, design thinking, user-centered design are not enough, at least not for being successful in the real world. To achieve your goal you need to create an efficient system that can make a project logistically and economically feasible. During the workshop, Matteo di Pascale, author of BAD Canvas (Sefirot Independent Publisher), a professional tool for Business-Aware Design designed in collaboration with Studiolabo, will explain how to use BAD to structure profitable and functioning businesses around products and/or services. BAD is a visual framework that helps you adopt a holistic approach to your design process while considering both users’ needs and business goals. You will be able to see the whole of your project – Users, Competitors, Business Models – in order to be completely aware of how to make it work.

Introduction
Introduction
The last few years have been a sudden mess of remote and hybrid work and design. Global events have sideswiped the gradual development of mobile and mixed reality technologies. Our sense of here (where do I work?) and now (when am I at work?) shifted. This talk is about regaining a human-centered sense of life, work and direction.

When was the last time you wrote an algorithm to plan your diet?
As programmers we do amazing things in our everyday job, but we rarely use our knowledge at home.
In this talk I will share how I coded a Genetic Algorithm from scratch and used it to solve my everyday problems: creating the ultimate diet plan and planning my semester timetable.
I will talk about Constraint Satisfaction Problems and how to define a problem as one. Taking the audience through code examples written in Javascript I will present the different steps of the Genetic Algorithm.
Let me show you a different side of the Genetic Algorithm so you will discover a new way to solve your everyday problems.

Individuals affected by autism often, already at a young age, experience difficulties with social interaction and communication.
Throughout his talk Marc will discuss his experiences with designing and developing Mixed Reality game interventions for children with autism. Marc will touch on how to approach working in a reality-virtuality continuum, the impacts of embodied cognition and virtual subjectiveness, as well as the particularities of designing for users with autism.

There is much talk about how artificial intelligence (AI) will change the role of design and creativity in the digital space to increase customer conversion rates.
In our session, we will explore how we leverage business data for what we call 'AI creative intelligence', our secret sauce for designing great customer experiences (and increasing ROI).
Spoiler alert: humans, in this process, are not an option!

At Accurat we are used to working on challenges that have hardly been tackled before. How do we manage to deliver high quality content that is both data-accurate and that has a big human impact? The answer is a strong interaction between designers and developers, exploiting different skills and technologies on each side.

Ritual design is about being intentful in crafting meaningful experiences. A great ritual is embedded with meaning going beyond, a routine, a checklist, or a habit. Rituals hook into the narrative about ourselves, our organization and our collective values. Ritual design is the key that enables our organisation and designed services to become actually human centric. Adam’s introduction of ritual design will help you design culture and services in the right way. Not only can ritual design shed new light on the do’s and don'ts of how to better work together and it can also help us design better services for others.

A few years ago, Thoughtworks invested in setting up a data program to drive our internal operations to become data led. However, once the early adopters were onboarded and the initial euphoria was over, we started to find it very hard to onboard more business leaders. Data Awesome is a human centred approach to data that helped us build better empathy with our customers, a better understanding of the business context and a better dashboard for our users.The new dashboards made users feel empowered to complete what they had to do in a better way that they couldn’t do before.

Artists have always been eager to experiment with new tools, discovering how technologies can be used and mis-used. Digital innovations are not different, and artists have been using them since the 60s to intercept the future in what can be defined as "digital art". This speech will focus on the artistic and economic implications of digital art. How can we "curate" digital art in the era of Google, where any digital file is available anytime and anywhere? How can digital art be collected and allow creators to focus on their craft? Through the young story of Reasoned Art, an italian startup and B-corp, we will tackle these questions across digital experimentation, cultural heritage and physical fruition.

SVGs are amazing. They're tiny. They're crisp. They're responsive. They also can be styled with CSS, are well supported, have a navigable DOM... And they can be animated!
So why aren't we using more of them?
This talk wants to encourage designers and developers to adopt SVGs more often and animate them to capture users' attention and guide interactions with apps.

Are you struggling to create beautiful, high performing digital experiences while having a compliant website? Data privacy is not a fringe issue for online businesses any longer - it has become a core component of the digital economy that revolves around user consent and transparency. Throughout this talk, Grant and Richard will share how data privacy and end-user consent can propel data-driven businesses to new heights, how more and more companies are focusing on end-user consent, and how consent banner designs and customizability ensures higher opt-in rates - key aspects of creating beautiful digital experiences in the age of data privacy compliance.
