Modern Data Visualization
Big Data, IoT and now Machine Learning give us more data than ever before. We can find significant trends, influence the direction of a company, predict customer behaviors or even just guess if a photo is a cat or a dog. But what do you do with all of this data? We’ll walk through a few examples of both really good and really bad data visualizations, examine some data visualization practices that are still relevant today and discuss how animation, inclusive design, and UX are shaping modern datavis.
Participants will leave with:
* Knowledge of how data visualization is changing with technology
* Best practices for visualizing their Big Data, IoT or ML dataset
* Practical examples they can follow when building their data visualization
Solving What to Solve: UX and Machine Learning
Machine Learning is fantastic at solving unique problems in new and exciting ways -- it's an excellent opportunity to discover valuable insights into your data patterns and relationships. But what if you don't know what problems to solve? Or what if you answer a problem that doesn't really exist? UX can help align your machine learning efforts with your users, creating human-centered machine learning with results that are actionable and relevant to your user base.

Talking UX: Lessons from Class and Clients
“That’s what we saw in user testing”, “it’s just a well known design practice”, “that’s what it’s like for UX people in the real world”.
Sound familiar? Instead of relying on adages, learn how to communicate more effectively with clients, stakeholders and even students. Ashley and Amii will leverage their time as UX leads, as well as adjunct teaching, to provide some tips and tidbits from their own experiences. Expect a fairly informal presentation with a Q&A session to follow.
That Conference 2017
ACCOUNTING FOR EVERY CAMPER: DESIGNING FOR OUTSIDE, OBSTACLES, AND MORE
Every camper should be able to access your sweet summer camp mobile app, whether they have a broken arm, no arms, or are just carrying around a lot of stuff. Inclusive design accounts for all of these; it’s a method of thinking that works to provide a more meaningful experience to your entire audience, no matter whom or where they are. We’ll talk about how to identify environmental and situational factors that could influence how your application is used, “traditional” measurements and obstacles in accessibility, and how developers can make small changes to provide a broader and richer experience for their entire group of campers.
