Well it’s getting around to that time of year when conference submission are due.
Now, I go through this process a few times a year, it doesn’t change.
What to submit?
When you take into consideration the process and the timeliness of the talks, blogs on the topic and similar talks, is it really worthwhile.
I often wonder if the benefits outweigh the outlay of time and effort. Does your talk really change things, even just a little, for the people attending.
The Speaker
It’s not just getting a submission together that is the hard part, the entire process can be time intensive.
Where does the the web industry fit in the world. You would think that after 15 plus years that we would have worked that out by now and found our place. But alas this isn’t the case. I still ponder what category should we sit under in a corporate or business structure, let alone what role we should all be.
Something that really frustrates me, is when you go to fill in a survey and they list off the industry types. I’m always very confused where do I put myself, my business. Which one of the categories do I choose.
I was talking to the local UPA Perth chapter (in formation) about aspects of UX visualisation. It was an interesting topic that brought up a good number of discussion points.
One point was on the design process. The way we design. The way that we just don’t allow ourselves time to fail at the design. Or if we do, it is hidden in the back room so we can appear to be “magical design wizards” that produce the perfect product, interface design, IA or the like.
