The Future of Digital Product Design: Dirk Knemeyer and a panel of digital product design professionals

IxDG, AIGA-ED, AIGA Center for Brand Experience, and BayDUX (Wednesday December 8, 2004) - Yahoo! 701 First Avenue - Sunnyvale, California
"Technology and business trends are rapidly changing the landscape of digital product design. Powerful forces for change are affecting everyone who contributes to the innovation and design of digital products. Products are converging. Organizations are sending technology, design, and usability jobs offshore. At the same time, product development teams are becoming increasingly integrated and multi-disciplinary. Individuals, organizations, and even industries are trying to understand the dynamic forces that are now at work and determine their roles in this new world of digital product design. With change comes opportunity as well as risk. The user experience design community is poised to assume a pivotal role in the design of digital products—ensuring that the products companies bring to market are useful, usable, and enjoyable. To help prepare us all to take advantage of the opportunities at hand, Dirk will offer insights into how current trends in both technology and business will change the work we do."
