What's a "design slam"?
During the meeting, participants will be teamed and introduced to a full-fledged hypothetical project, including appropriate client-side deliverables. They'll then have an opportunity to interview key players on the client's team. The session will conclude with proposal presentations from each of the groups to the "clients" and the assembled audience.
Then the "clients" team will choose a winner. Members of the winning team will receive a plethora of praise from your peers and an award.
What's in it for me?
This is a chance for interested IAs, designers, usability practitioners, developers and marketing professionals to get their hands dirty working side by side with colleagues as they tackle tough business problems in a fun and sometimes crazy environment. Knowledge transfer, technique sharing, and a social atmosphere makes this session stand out from the garden-variety "lecture-and-Powerpoint" presentation.
Those that want to participate need to be at the meeting by 6:20pm at the latest. The client team will be introducing the design challenge promptly at 6:30.
If you do not want to participate because you won't be able to get to the meeting ontime or a have severe case of social phobia, fear not! We would like to have an audience during this session to play the role of users, and help choose the winning team.
