Web Directions South: User Experience
On May 16th I will be speaking at the Web Directions South event in Melbourne, subtitled “User Experience”. It’s a two day event with workshops on the 15th and the conference proper on the 16th. The Web Directions team has always produced great events in the past; I particularly enjoyed the Sydney conference last year where Freshview had a booth and gave away an iMac.
The user experience theme promises some interesting talks, and there are people coming who will definitely be worth hearing. I’m particularly looking forward to Oliver Wiedlich on the mobile web. My presentation is titled “Delivering user experience to the inbox: designing for email”, our area of expertise at Freshview.
Email is definitely not the new hotness for web designers, and HTML email has (in some cases deservedly) a bad reputation. In fact, when I spoke at the Future of Web Design in NY last year, fully half the audience put up their hands when I asked “Who hates HTML email?”. So I’ve got my work cut out for me.
So if you can make it to Melbourne in May, I’d love to see you at Web Directions South: User Experience.
