Meetup Details
“Design Kolkata” in collaboration with “Interaction Design Foundation (IDF)” & “World Usability Day 2019” brings to you the first ever meet & greet session in the heart of the city of joy!
Come, be a part of it & let us all help our city design better…
......................................
Hi, Designers in Kolkata! Let's meet to celebrate the World Usability Day 2019 with the theme “Design for the Future we want”. Along with this we’d share our thoughts and experiences in designing great experience, and network with one another.
Design has a huge influence on people’s lives. What we design today can have a lasting impact on the world. Let’s use this year’s theme, “Design for the Future We Want”, to focus our work to improve the world through better experiences and create a better future together.
This year’s theme was inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals, set by the United Nations (UN). These 17 goals on the 2030 agenda provide a roadmap to a more peaceful and prosperous future for all.
As usability professionals, our work is moving us closer to a certain future. Whether the progress towards it is intentionally or unintentionally created, or whether that future is tomorrow, next month, or several years down the line – we are all heading towards endpoints of our own creation. This begs the question – What kind of future are we designing for?
