More About Our Speakers:

Krzysztof Piwowar: Design Manager & UX Expert, PGS Software

Krzysztof believes that the design should inform the technology — and not the other way around. During his presentation, he’ll be making the case that design can truly help drive technological effort, by making it more human and easily accessible.

Andrew Godfrey: Senior Design Specialist, InVision

Andrew will be sharing key findings from InVision’s report exploring the relationship between design practices and business performance. This latest InVision report is the widest-ranging report of its kind & its findings are already transforming the way organisations work.

Ben Wilson: Experience Design Manager, Sage
Will Hearn: Director of Development, Sage

When it comes to design challenges the team at Sage have really had their work cut out. Creating a user experience that is recognisably Sage, works well across desktop applications and native cloud, and makes feature-packed applications easy to use for time-pressed business owners is no mean feat.

Will and Ben show how the team drew on best design theory to deliver and apply an effective design system at pace and scale. Find out about Sage’s approach, discover how seemingly-insurmountable design problems were cut down to size, and hear more about the impact the open-source Carbon design system has had on user experience.

As always, please RSVP so we can keep an eye on numbers and we look forward to see you all there!
