Thirsty Thursday
Two people take the stage instead of one long talk. This way, we can share a variety of perspectives and make it easier for new speakers to participate.

The Talks

1. Designing with the Law — Joeri Toet
In this talk, Joeri explores how legal obligations increasingly need to be operationalized in the tech stack and require design input. Beyond creating work, he shows how designers and product teams make a critical contribution to legal risk reduction and may derive a mandate to do some of their best work from the legal function.

Joeri is a seasoned technology lawyer who works at the intersection of law, technology, and business strategy. He’s advised large and fast-moving companies such as Shell and Meta, and built and operated cybersecurity solutions in his own venture. Alongside his day-to-day work, he is active in teaching and research and serves as a board member of the Academic CyberSecurity Society in the Netherlands.

2. User testing in emerging markets — Dr Rendani Maarten Kruger
User testing is essential to ensuring that technology is usable for its intended users. Although remote user testing platforms were developed to make testing more accessible, many of these platforms were designed in Western countries and are not always suitable for participants in emerging markets. As a result, the data collected may be skewed, leading to research findings and software solutions that do not fully address local user needs.

Emerging markets have distinct characteristics. They are often mobile-first environments, with challenges such as limited internet connectivity, lower-bandwidth devices, and varying levels of digital access. At the same time, people in these markets face unique challenges that technology can help address. We are responding to this gap by developing a user testing tool specifically designed for emerging markets.

Rendani is a solution architect and director of Azi user testing and Monkey and River. He completed a masters in Human Computer interaction and a PhD in encouraging digital innovation
