Adaptive Path: 10 Years Of Making Things Awesome-r [Cancelled?]

by Jesse James Garrett and Laura Kirkwood-Datta

Experience design company Adaptive Path launched at South by Southwest 2001 (on the rooftop of the old Waterloo Brewing Company!). Together, we’ve grown up, but we haven’t grown old. From the two guys who helped create a revolution (and some 4-letter neologisms along the way) -- learn how to continually revolutionize your own thinking and approach to your work.

For 10 years now, Adaptive Path has maintained its position at the forefront of user experience. In that time, UX has emerged from the backroom to the boardroom, going from something that’s “nice to have” to an essential element of successful products and services. In this talk, founders Peter Merholz and Jesse James Garrett will chart where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how we’ll get there.

This talk will draw from Adaptive Path's experiences working at the vanguard of social media (such as helping Blogger after it was acquired by Google), pushing the boundaries of interaction design (coining the term "Ajax"), developing new user experience methods (such as sketchboarding), defining a new field of experience strategy (we need to work on the why and what, not just the how), and helping companies of all sizes truly embrace the power of user experience to deliver superior products and services to their customers.

If you’re familiar with Peter and Jesse, you know this session will be light on B.S., heavy on substance, and we’ll probably disagree with each other at multiple points.

I'm Your Biggest Fan: A Cyberstalking Story [Cancelled?]

by Ryan Junell

In April 2010, I became aware of my pregnant wife's stalker who used social media services and various forms of electronic communication to violate our privacy and terrorize us for the better part of a year. I will detail what happened, how we defended ourselves, and what baseline services social media should offer to protect user's right to privacy.

You Like Me, You Really Like Me [Cancelled?]

by Bret Taylor

Forget everything you thought you knew about the web. Today the Internet is powered by people.

In this new personalized web, the most valuable insights are no longer abstract algorithms, but the connections between people and the things they care about. In a web defined by people, no two people should see the same content. The Like button is powering this movement by enabling people to show their interest in objects around the web and share them with friends.

During this presentation, Facebook CTO Bret Taylor will look at the power of the Like button – including how people are discovering more personal experiences on their favorite sites, as well as the opportunities it’s created for developers to grow their presence on the web.
