Designing meetings to work for design

Sure, we don’t like meetings. They can be ragged speed bumps in the design process; necessary evils used to secure agreement without incurring excessive tire damage to our projects. But by treating face-to-face collaboration as a design problem, that time together can become a design tool more effective than any software on a computer.

Kevin will show you a selection of simple meeting interaction frameworks that get actionable results and help course correct when meetings aren’t hitting the targets that they should, even if you aren’t in charge. You’ll facilitate agreement faster in design discussions, manage feedback better, and explore web design problems in productive, inspiring multi-hour workshops.

You’ll leave with skills and approaches that empower teams to conceive of (and build) amazing web redesigns and products.
