The annual Webdagene / IxDA Oslo panel debate brings together some of the world's sharpest minds for an evening of fiery but friendly discussions on how UX is shaping the world we live in, and just how we want that world to work.
The evening kicks off with an entertaining review of our medium, segues into a panel debate and finishes off with the Webdagene Opening Party!
The event is organised by Webdagene and IxDA Oslo, and aims to bring the good people attending Norway's biggest conference for anyone working in the digital sphere, together with the good members of IxDA Oslo. (Not all of them, that would be like 5000 people, and Ingensteds simply isn't big enough.)
We expect everyone to behave like grown-ups and heed our very simple code of conduct: No harassment, period. Failure to do so will be met by a swift response at the discretion of the organizing team.
The early web sparked so much more than anyone had anticipated. And many of us who grew up in that wild wilderness of the early web, also grew up to have it as our day job. The web has evolved, and the wilderness has given way to four-lane highways and skyscrapers. While the early web helped foster so much innovation, we ponder what the current web will lead to. The ideas behind the once open, flexible and democratic World Wide Web are too important to leave behind.
In this talk, Knut and Nils muse on what makes the web what it is, and why this is not a given. We ask how the choices we make in interaction design, coding and digital strategy can leave people better prepared for the digital future, and challenge how we talk and think about the people who use the stuff we make.
What kind of web do we want to leave for those who come next?
What is the future of our field? How do we begin designing for voice? How should designers, technologists and product managers, but also lawyers, policy makers, politicians and the public tackle the rapid rate of technological change? And, what's the newly-minted designer to do when there is so much to specialize in, and so much to learn?
The panel includes Cheryl Platz (Microsoft), Jamie Bartlett (Demos), Lillian Ayla Ersoy (BEKK) and Marius Aabel (No Isolation), and is moderated by Fredrik Matheson of IxDA Oslo
After the debate wraps up, the Webdagene 2017 opening party begins
Marius er en av gründerne i No Isolation og har jobbet med både hardware og software siden han var 10 år gammel. Han brenner for å lage løsninger som folk elsker å bruke og som løser faktiske problemer i hverdagen. Om det er en app, en dings eller en web-side spiller mindre rolle.
No Isolation lager løsninger som hjelper mennesker ut av sosial isolasjon. Første produkt, AV1, gjør det mulig for langtidssyke barn og ungdom å delta i klasserommet og i sosiale aktiviteter selv om de må være hjemme eller på sykehuset.
