=== Talk 1 =====

"The Nature of Collaboration"
Kathryn Parkes, UX Design Research at Cisco

In our rapidly-changing world, designers, UX teams and our organisations need to be resilient in order to survive. In this talk, Kathryn will discuss how we can find inspiration in nature and learn from the proven solutions all around us. There have been many examples of biomimicry used successfully in product and service design but does bio-inspired thinking help in the design of software systems and how re manage our organisations?

Kathryn’s particular area of interest is in collaboration between Teams and how organisations use collaboration tools across distributed teams, many of whom may never have met in person. She will draw on her own experience as a remote worker based in Dublin, Ireland working with her team who are predominantly based in California and the work being done at Cisco looking at Collective Intelligence across large-scale distributed organisations.

Kathryn Parkes is a Senior UX Researcher at Cisco, where she leads both qualitative and quantitative research studies as part of the Collaboration group. She has over 24 years of experience in researching, designing, and developing user-centred products having worked as an independent consultant, agency-side, and in-house across a range of industries and sectors.

=== Talk 2 =====

Tales from the Field
Kevin Devine, Senior Product Designer, NearForm.

When Kevin delivered his "Losing the Remote" talk at Defuse last year he challenged the community to think about ways to foster togetherness in our "connected" society. Kevin works remotely and will connect into our event remotely for a fireside chat on remote collaboration.

Kevin is a senior product designer based in Tara, Co. Meath. Over the past 14 years he has worked with some of Ireland's leading international companies. He now works at NearForm with remote colleagues throughout the world delivering world class solutions for global clients.
