Design

The Design track is about practice rather than portfolios. Speakers show the messy middle of real projects: the research that contradicted the brief, the component library that had to be rebuilt, the accessibility audit that arrived too late and what the team changed afterwards.

It suits product designers, design engineers, researchers and the people who manage them. If you work in a team where design and engineering sit close together, or wish they did, most of these sessions were chosen with you in mind.

Anika Sharma curated the track around one rule: every talk had to include something an attendee could try with their own team the following week.
