Content & Design: Conflict is the Key to Great Experiences

Welcome Steve Fisher, co-Founder of The Design & Content Conference, for a special cross-discipline talk on June 15th.

It’s time to kick all of the elephants out of the room. Letting go of preconceived notions is a requisite skill for creating whole-hearted user experiences. In his talk, Steve will help you look at your current projects through a vulnerable lens to see imperfections, preempt design oversights, and let go of personal defense mechanisms that interfere with the creative process.

This session will give you the tools to free project teams to express true creativity, to bond and to connect at a deeper level with each other and the people using our products and designs. What is the best makeup of any given project team? Why should you mine for conflict and how does it enable you to produce better designs? Find out the answers to all these questions and more!
