Online Registration is now open for CREATE 2008
24-25 June 2008, British Computer Society, Covent Garden, London

http://www.cs.mdx.ac.uk/research/idc/create2008/

CREATE 2008 is a 2-day conference about creating innovative interactions,
whether digital consumer products, interactive services or interaction
paradigms. A conference where the emphasis is on sharing the wealth of
creative ideas we have developed to resolve problems, to create new
capabilities, or new functions; where the aim is to spawn further creative
designs that can make a difference to people.

This year's theme is ³embedding people-centred design in the process of
innovation². How do we work together as designers and HCI specialists to
come up with people-centred design, and how do we work with others to make
our designs a reality?

CREATE 2008 will also feature the CREATE Design Showcase ­ a forum for
people to exhibit and discuss their latest ideas. Visitors to the Design
Showcase can engage with a range of innovative and adventurous projects and
meet the designers who created them.

Keynote speakers include:
 
* Benedict Davies (Google) ³Lost in music: When should a phone not be a
phone²
 
* Lucy Stockbridge (Serco) ³Integrating people-centred design and innovation
processes²
 
* Britta Burlin (Whirlpool) ³Useful, usable & desirable: how Whirlpool
Corporation finds balance in product development²
 
Please note that registration closes on Thursday 19 June.
