More than the business idea, a strong brand identity is a critical factor for success. Identity provides direction, purpose, and meaning for the brand. Design is the rocket fuel to construct brand identity prioritizing the identity elements necessary. This slide deck explores the myriad facets of design that can impact identity.
New research proves consumers prefer brands that offer unique experiences. Many are even willing to pay more for unique brand experiences. Check out our global research on brand experience trends and learn how to apply these insights to your brand.

As content has become an ubiquitous part of our lives, content strategy has evolved from a modest practice into a global discipline that reaches across existing areas of digital expertise and shapes new opportunities for content specialists. Content design is one such opportunity.
Informed by content strategy, content design has emerged in recent years thanks to the brilliant work of pioneers like the GDS Team at GOV.UK. Where content strategy excels (pun intended) at the meticulous work of enterprise site redesigns and the like, content design is ideal for the iterative sprints often associated with product design.
At its core, content design empowers creative thinkers and systematic doers who understand the nature of interactive content to partner with designers and technologists in order to build amazing digital products that meet the needs of real people. Join Content Director Hawk Thompson to find out how the multidisciplinary design team at Chaotic Moon Studios has incorporated content design into its agile-informed process for product engagements and hear how this emergent discipline is shaping the future of digital content in bold new ways.

In the Emirates, the UX interview is always a surprise as we really never know what to expect! Sometimes our interviewer is not a UX Designer. But what if he or she is a UX Guru?
The goal of this presentation is to discuss the best way to make you ready and rock at your next UX interview!
In order to get there, we'll talk about:
• The UX Role and types of UX roles
• The interview and a few suggestions on do's & don'ts
• The Recruiter's point of view
• The Candidate's point of view
• What are you really looking for in a UX job?
The Figma prototyping hacks will be covering best practices and tips needed to get the best out of prototyping. Some of these can be simple prototyping hacks that when combined with other hacks will create a complex transition or interaction. The hacks can be random and do not have to be sequentially related.

SXSW2013: Design for Aging, Your Future-SelfCarina Ngai
The stereotypical product image for seniors entails bigger buttons, bigger text, and bigger screens. When it comes to designing for the elderly, it is not necessary to dumb down technologies. In this talk, I'm taking a different perspective on aging: Rather than focusing on their disabilities such as loss of vision/hearing/memory, let's look into the rich dimensions of their lives, their surrounding communities, and discuss how design can contribute in this domain.
Let's move beyond usability, and introduce “Design for Aging” as a process of innovation. This presentation includes approach on design research, and my thoughts behind the emerging trends on aging. I've also included some discovery on the aging populations' inspirations, aspirations, values and challenges to their daily lives.
This talk plans to introduce you to "Inclusive Design", inspire you to take on different lenses, and offer plenty of design opportunities in the domain of aging.

Best Practices for Building Accessible Websites in WordpressNancy Thanki
There are over 20 million blind adults in the United States, approximately 10% of whom use screen readers to access the internet. Likewise, roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women have some form of color blindness. Many government contracts are beginning to require websites to be accessible and many companies who are not legally required to build accessible websites are starting to do it regardless. What goes into making a website accessible? How can you determine whether or not your website is? This presentation will discuss both tools and techniques that can help you build accessible websites.
Happy webusers - World Information Arcitecture Day 2015Andrew Arch
A discussion of the issues affecting the experience of older people and people with disability when online and some of the simple solutions to 'make them happy' in keeping with the WIAD theme for 2015
In this digital age of disruptive technologies, we have access to an exorbitant amount of information and subsequently learning opportunities. We share knowledge, create resources, give feedback and so much more. But, not everyone is able to access these learning opportunities for a number of reasons – whether it be physical, sensory, or cognitive limitations or disabilities.
We strive to help people learn and so empowering them to have access to the same learning opportunities is what making learning accessible all about.
Teaching Online Research & Comprehension SkillsTimothy Neville
The purpose of the presentation is to help educators understand the importance of helping their students learn online research and comprehension skills and to provide them with an action plan to do so.

The importance of web accessibility: How being inclusive can improve your uni...SMILE
Do you struggle to get those around you to understand what accessibility is all about and what impact it has? You’re not alone. At SMILE, we’re keen to promote that accessibility should be embedded in your organisation’s culture – we don’t believe that it should be seen as a checkbox exercise.
Web accessibility is about creating web content, design, and tools that can be used by everyone regardless of ability. Web accessibility is the need for websites to utilize tools and technologies developed to aid the perception, understanding, contribution, navigation, and interaction of a person with disabilities on the site. Integrating accessibility can seem intimidating to those that are just getting acquainted with it, but it is a vital element of user experience. Accessibility should be built into the web development and design process, rather than trying to retrofit it as an afterthought.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Pradeep Chinnala, Senior Consultant Automation Developer @WonderBotz and UiPath MVP
Deepak Rai, Automation Practice Lead, Boundaryless Group and UiPath MVP
2. Introduction
● Older adults, or seniors have a harder time using the
Internet and browsing websites compared to younger adults
and teenagers.
● Designing for seniors is relativity easy - it only takes a few
modifications. In fact, it has been noted that designing for
seniors makes the design better for all other user groups as
well.
3. Introduction
● Seniors use the web to find health information, bank online,
research travel options, shop, and e-mail.
● A Seniornet study [1998] discovered that a major incentive
for older adults to own a computer is to obtain information
about health care and medical conditions.
● A 2003 study showed that searching for health information
was one of the most popular activities on the internet for
older adults.
4. Who Are Senior Citizens?
● AARP classifies "older adults" to be those over 50
years old.
● Many studies account for a wide variety of definitions,
involving participants between 55 - 75 years of age.
● (Bailey 2004) proposes the following classification
system to help clarify age definitions:
○ Young: 18-39 years
○ Middle-ages: 40-59 years
○ Older: 60-74
○ Old-old: 75+ years
5. Statistics
● The United Nations (UN) estimates that by 2050 one in five
individuals will be over 60 years old.
● As of 2003 in Canada, about 25%
of households with people 65 and older and 59% of
households with people 55–64 were online. The percentage
of Canadians age 65 and older who are online has more
than doubled in the past four years (Statistics Canada 2004)
● In a February 2004 survey, 22% of Americans age 65 or
older reported having access to the Internet. This
represents a 47% increase between 2000 and 2004. Eight
million seniors now go online.
7. Aging Issues That Affect Seniors
● Vision decline
○ 16% of people 65 - 74 years
○ 19% of people 75 – 84 years
○ 46% of people 85+ years
● Cognitive decline
● Motor skill decline
○ Arthritis, Parkinson's,Tremors
● Hearing loss
○ 47% of people 61 to 80 years
○ 93% of people 81+ years
8. Barriers to Web Use
Older people are experiencing web accessibility barriers due to:
● Poor design and poor coding of websites
● Complex software and assistive technologies
● Little or no prior experience with computers
9. Web Accessibility Initiative: Aging Education
and Harmonization (WAI-AGE) Project
The WAI-AGE project ended in
2010 but included activities to:
● better understand web
accessibility needs of the aging
● community work with the aging
community to obtain more direct
input and contribution for Web
accessibility solutions.
● revise existing and develop new
educational materials
● promote the adoption and
implementation of a common set
of Web accessibility guidelines
for older adults and those with
disabilities. http://www.w3.org/WAI/older-users/
10. Making Your Website Senior Friendly
● Organizing Web Information for Older Adults
● Writing Online Text for Older Adults
● Designing Readable Online Text for Older Adults
● Making Web Information Easy for Older Adults to Find
○ Including Other Media
● Making Sure That Older Adults Can Use Your Website
11. Making Your Website Senior Friendly
● Break information into short sections.
● Give instructions clearly and number each step.
● Minimize the use of jargon and technical terms.
● Use single mouse clicks.
● Allow additional space around clickable targets.
● Use 12- or 14-point type size, and make it easy for users to
enlarge text.
● Use high-contrast color combinations, such as black type
against a white background.
● Provide a speech function to hear text read aloud.
● Provide text-only versions of multimedia content.
● Minimize scrolling.
● Choose a search engine that uses keywords and doesn’t
require special characters or knowledge of Boolean terms.
13. Design Principles for Seniors
● Interaction design: designing the way users work
with the site
● Information architecture: organizing the content
● Visual design: designing the pages
● Information design: writing and formatting the content
14. Design Principles for Seniors
Interaction design
● Use conventional interaction elements.
● Make it obvious what is clickable and what is not.
● Make clickable items easy to target and hit.
● Minimize vertical scrolling; eliminate horizontal scrolling.
● Ensure that the Back button behaves predictably.
● Let the user stay in control.
● Provide clear feedback on actions
● Provide feedback in other modes in addition to visual.
15. Design Principles for Seniors
Information architecture
● Make the structure of the web site as visible as possible.
● Clearly label content categories; assist recognition and
retrieval rather than recall.
● Implement the shallowest possible information hierarchy.
● Include a site map and a link to it from every page.
16. Design Principles for Seniors
Visual Design
● Make pages easy to skim or scan.
● Make elements on the page easy to read.
● Visually group related topics.
● Make sure text and background colors contrast.
● Use adequate white space.
17. Design Principles for Seniors
Information design
● Make it easy to find things on the page quickly.
● Focus the writing on audience and purpose.
● Use the users’ language; minimize jargon and technical
terms
