Good Morning Interaction13 Attendees!
Today is the final day of Interaction13… sad, but true. From the twitter feed, it sounds like everyone has been enjoying themselves, reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, and being inspired while attending some of the fantastic talks in the program. As we close out the day we will have an opportunity to reflect on the conference program during the IxD13: Redux Live, so be sure to join us for a fresh perspective from our three panelists.
A brief morning announcement: We will not be having morning music today so take that time to grab breakfast and coffee before heading over to the MTCC. We will have our first coffee break at 10:30 a.m. before breakout sessions.
Afternoon Keynote: John Bielenberg
Rubber Ducks and Hockey Gloves (Or, how to jump the ingenuity gap) – MTCC 718 at 4:30 p.m.
Walking across an empty room does not require ingenuity. But add bears, alligators and land mines and ingenuity will be required to get across safely. We live in an increasingly complex world where the bears, alligators and land mines are replaced with climate change, peak oil, and population growth to name a few.
However, humans have the capacity for developing ingenious solutions to these challenges and designers are well positioned to fill this gap. How do you unlock the ingenuity that exists within people and organizations? Welcome to Future Blitz, the process of using rapid ingenuity to address your greatest challenges.
