CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS



The IxDA Interaction conference is the premier annual event for interaction designers, with content and activities relevant to practitioners, managers, educators, and students. Now in its fourth year, the Interaction conference has hosted leading speakers from consultancies, agencies, corporations, and universities around the world. All have provided inspirational content related to web and desktop software applications, mobile devices, consumer electronics, digitally-enhanced environments, service and system design, and more.



You may not have the press or the patents, written a book or been asked for your autograph, but you have an important voice in the IxDA conference. We want to hear from you.



This year we are asking for community submissions for lightning (20 minute) sessions and pre-conference workshops around a variety of themes, ranging from design practice (including guidelines, methods and processes) to design theory and new applications of design solutions. IxDA is proud to represent a diverse and multidisciplinary community; we encourage submissions from the fringes of interaction design and beyond. Check out content from previous IxDA conferences — available online at http://www.ixda.org/resources — to get a flavor of the types of material presented and to understand the precedent for content and style.



Presentation proposals are due August 1, 2010. Shoot any questions to interaction@ixda.org. We are waiting to hear from you… what have you got to say for yourself?
