Pragmatic Web

Context, Conversation, and Commitment (October 22-23, 2007 - Tilburg, Netherlands EU)
The Pragmatic Web Conference is a unique forum to envision and debate how the emerging social, semantic, multimedia Web mediates the ways in which we construct shared meaning. While there is much research and development into topics relevant to this challenge such as collaboration, usability, knowledge representation, and social informatics, the Pragmatic Web conference provides common ground for dialogue at the nexus of these topics.

Designboost

Sharing design knowledge (October 17 - November 17, 2007 - Malmö, Sweden EU)
Designboost is a completely novel concept on the Swedish design market. It will be annual, different, international and will penetrate questions of current interest on design in a broad perspective and put them on the agenda in the society at large. It consists of three different parts; boost meetings (formerly known as workshops), boost chats (formerly known as lectures) and a boost show (formerly known as exhibition). The boost meetings take place with an invited group of participants while the boost chats and the boost show are open for the public. Designboost is supposed to inject both it's participants and the audience with new ideas, make them ponder, reflect, worry and be amused about what design really is and how it should be used in order to create a better life for people, and a more durable society.

In this advanced seminar, Peter Morville draws upon stories, examples, case studies, and discussions to explore the future present of information architecture and user experience.
