AdVersity: Does Advertising Make UX More Challenging? Thom Milkovic

Do ads interfere with the UX of Websites? Will an ad convert better if it complements or distracts from content? Can an ad add value to a site? Is it possible to build a better user experience around the complex struggle between grabbing attention and delivering value?

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/3/6/2/event_231544962.jpegCome discuss answers to these questions with Thom Milkovic at AdVersity. Thom will begin by setting the framework of the conversation and then open the discussion to the room.

For two decades, Thom has guided creative groups and development teams, as well as worked hands-on with all types of UX design and development challenges. He consistently brings one fundamental philosophical approach into all his results… every little detail communicates a critical piece of the overarching story.

Thom has helped a variety of startups and mid-sized clients attain their targeted goals, as well as consulted with brands such as SAP, TRX, CNN, UPS, Citrix, Samsung, Mapquest, Holiday Inn, Original Gutterguard, and, more recently, Geocaching.
