In cooperation with Nathan Curtis and Livia Labate
The (online) Wall of Deliverables will be on display at the IA Summit 2009 in Memphis
IA Summit
Every year, many practitioners from the user experience field meet at the IA Summit. The summit is a place to meet peers, learn from others and get inspired through workshops, presentations and poster sessions. Many of the sessions deal with ideas, concepts and theories of the IA field in which presenters regularly refer to actual projects and their deliverables to illustrate their points.
Communicating design
In the user experience field, clear communication of deliverables is of great importance to increase project success and efficiency. Therefore many designers are constantly looking for the good ways to communicate their ideas to clients.
At the 2008 IA Summit in Miami, the first Wall of Deliverables offered an activity where conference attendees could view and share deliverables with their peers (pictures here!). People could post their favorite deliverable, along with details that defined its context. This wall acted as a great starting point for useful discussions.
Attendees to the Summit could vote for their favourite deliverables and a group of judges rated the deliverables. Prizes were awarded for the top deliverables in both categories.
Online Wall of Deliverables
This year we are organizing a second annual Wall of Deliverables - a whole area in the conference location dedicated to all kinds of different deliverables for people to browse through, discuss and be inspired by. But this time “the wall” will not only be present at the Summit, but is now online available as well. And maybe even more important: it’s now possible for people participate by submitting their deliverables online.
The online Wall of Deliverables was launched early March and will probably really take off during the conference (March 18/22). If you plan to visit the IA Summit, make sure you submit your deliverable to be eligible for the prizes: Two Nintendo Wii’s and two iPods will be awarded!
It is our intention to keep the Wall online after the IA Summit, to continue inspiring our peers and allow them to share their deliverables. Feel free to have a look, comment and submit your deliverable at: www.wallofdeliverables.com.
