For months, I’ve buried myself in books, articles and miles of sketches, to create the content for this fall. I am very excited to see what you think. Here is a peek of the presentations and conversations that are on tap:

Stack Unconference, Omaha – I will have a few fun, collaborative ideas to toss on the wall. In true unconference form, attendees choose and direct topic content ‘on the fly’.

HDC, Omaha – I will be giving a 3 hour workshop on capturing innovation and developing great ideas. There are only 25 seats available, so if you’ll be around, grab your spot now.

On Thursday, I am giving a session on becoming a user experience designer in 45 minutes. Here we’ll focus on the key practices of experience design that will win you fans of your product or application.

AIGA Minnesota Design Camp – One of my favorite conferences of last year! I will be giving a workshop (scroll down to workshop #8) on bettering your design chops with creative play; not to be missed.

For SXSW 2011, I submitted a discussion entitled; Innovation Hunting in the Age of Prosthetic Apathy.
Check it out, leave me a comment and vote if you like it!

If you are headed to the IxDA conference next week, come on down to my workshop on team play. We will be playing games, problem-solving, exploring different creative stimulus; more importantly we will be having a blast. Why would I do a talk on play, you ask? Simple, play is a critical part of how humans learn and problem solve. If you want to make truly innovative experiences, you need to be able to experiment with fun, games and creative team play. Candy, markers, toys and imagination included. No batteries required.

The IxDA conference is currently sold out, but you can still register for SXSW Interactive. I will be giving a workshop on design process…more on that soon  : D
