I am thrilled to be a parter of World Interaction Design Day 2020 (IxDD) on September 29, partnering up with IxDA NL (https://ixda.nl/ixdd/) and three other Dutch UX communities: Ladies that UX Amsterdam, Ladies that UX Utrecht, and Amsterdam UX. This virtual event will include presentations, Q&A, networking, and more. This year’s theme is a topic of crucial importance to the design community and beyond: Culture and Sustainability.
Let's celebrate World Interaction Design Day together!

The Dutch stream is part of the EU live stream and we have three talks:

1. 'Getting banks on board' by Evert Albers (freelance designer for PCAF)
   PCAF is a non profit setting up a carbon accounting standard for financial institutions (https://carbonaccountingfinancials.com). What has happened developing materials and the website for PCAF and how did we manage to get more - and larger - financial institutions on board.

2. 'Designing Cultures' by Marcel Zwiers (CDO at service design agency 31Volts)
   By now most people know about design as a process, specific methods and tools and the importance of being human centered. However, this is only one perspective on design. In this talk I will try to make the case for the importance of a designing culture. I will argue that all society needs a culture based on design far more than the solutions professional designers have to offer.

3. 'Beyond Gender Binary Experience' is a joint effort of two industry veterans Constantine & Alexandra (Design, Product Development, E-commerce, Customer Experience).
   In this talk, Constantine and Alexandra take a critical look at the current state and the future of inclusion when it comes to gender and cover the intersection of culture, design & business. The talk is based on the research and their own experience working with big consumer brands, that both produce and sell multi-category/multi-gender products (Constantine is currently Global UX Director at Intersport & Alexandra is Sr Product Owner at Adidas). It gives a critical view of the cultural aspect of how inclusive brands/products are, provides a view on societal and historical aspects of how did we get here and gives a deep dive into how design and product teams can approach it when building inclusive user & customer experience, that goes beyond the usual Male/Female definitions.
