UX Week 2008 Rocked!

Last week I spent some time at the Adaptive Path UX Week Conference in San Francisco. I learned SO much while I was there and met a lot of great Experience Design folks. Some of the highlights:
  • Don Norman who kicked off the week and talked about UX in general.

  • Jensen Harris who talked about designing the MS Office interface(s) (The Ribbon).
  • The Neo-futurists from Chicago.
  • TCHO - a new chocolate company in San Francisco who let us beta test their chocolate.
  • This was the second Adaptive Path conference I've attended. I must say, these people know how to put on a conference. They really understand that we're attending a user experience conference so they pay attention to details.

    Location: UX Week 2008 was at the Palace Hotel. A beautiful spot. A wonderful user experience. Beautiful surroundings. Good food. Wonderful service. Attention to detail.

    Events/Program: Not your usual conference stuff. UX Week offered several great hands-on workshops as well as some fun and pertinent entertainment (a performance by the Neo-futurists). One of the workshops I attended was called "How to Be A Sticky Note Ninja". (More on that in another blog post).

    Adaptive Path employees. Approachable (they don't walk around like arrogant designers with a capital "D" on their chests). Friendly. Helpful. Interesting.

    My rating of the conference: Thumbs up!
