In her half-day workshop on “Design Strategy in a Nutshell: Connecting Design with Business Value,” Kate Rutter examines how good design alone isn’t enough to get great experiences out into the world. You need to be smart about how you start and finish as well. That’s where design strategy comes into play—ensuring that the design of products and services meets business needs, leverages your design opportunities (and abilities) and delivers real customer value.
The problem? Most businesses don’t have full-time design strategists waiting in the wings to pounce on problems as they arise. So as designers, we’re positioned to create the plans that connect user and business value. Designers are asked to bridge that gap almost every day, but knowing where to start when putting together a strategy can be tough, especially with all the other things competing for your time. The good news is that putting together a quick strategy on a shoestring isn’t as hard or complex as you may think.
Familiar with programming, but looking to make the jump into or get serious about iPhone development? In his half-day workshop on “Real World iPhone Development,” full time iPhone developer Collin Donnell will give tips, tricks, and share real world experiences on a wide variety of iPhone related development topics including app architecture, data persistence, creating custom controls, and more.
The workshop will also cover how to make best use of Apple’s development tools such as Xcode, Interface Builder, and Instruments. Attendees will also learn how to actually get your app ready for submission through iTunes Connect.

In their “iPhone Apps: From Concept to Launch” workshop, Small Society’s iPhone experts Raven Zachary and James Keller will walk you through the process of bringing your iPhone application to market—from the initial concept all the way through launch.
While the workshop does not cover iPhone programming, it will appeal to anyone with a good app idea, whether you’re an entrepreneur, web designer, developer, or just a passionate iPhone user.
iPhone developers will benefit from this workshop as Raven and James share best practices learned in the process of launching over a dozen iPhone apps ranging from some of the world’s biggest brands to the smallest startups.
The world of photography is changing at a rapid pace. Our traditional skills are no longer making the most sense because our format has begun to shift from print to online. In his half day workshop “Photography Tips from the New School“, fashion and music photographer Kris Krüg will provide practical insight on how to navigate in this online landscape.
Kris will discuss creating your own style through photo manipulation, publishing on multiple online channels, the changing faces of photography equipment and software, in addition to setting up the composition of a shoot and lighting techniques.
In a few hours, photographers of all levels will have the knowledge to navigate the online world with confidence! This workshop will also include a photowalk with Kris!
BTW, Kris is a fervent evangelist for open culture and creative commons licensing and frequently speaks at conferences and the media about the blurring lines between pro and amateur, shifting copyright standards and using technology to promote and share artistic work. Kris realizes art isn’t created in a vacuum and a vibrant community is key for culture to flourish – with this in mind, he organizes photowalks and workshops for newbies and veterans alike to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration.
