Schedule Day 01

Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom

Welcome to our opening session, where we begin this journey with two groundbreaking presentations that set the stage for everything that follows.

When Your Designs Speak Business, Everyone Listens

Miranda Slayter

Join us as we explore the hidden pathways that connect creativity with impact. This isn't just another design presentation - it's a journey into uncharted territory where every pixel has purpose and every decision carries weight. Discover the secret language that turns design into influence, and learn why some designers shape destinies while others merely follow directions.

Designing for Unseen Users: UX Lessons from Working with Deaf Blind Communities

Maddalena Zampitelli

Venture deeper into the kingdom where visibility takes on new meaning entirely. What happens when traditional design rules no longer apply? When the users you're designing for exist in spaces most have never imagined? This expedition will challenge everything you thought you knew about connection, accessibility, and the true power of inclusive thinking.

Different ≠ Deficient: Rethinking Growth for Diverse UX Minds

Odette Jansen

Prepare to question everything you know about professional development and career growth. What if the traditional ladder isn't the only way up? What if the very differences that make you feel like an outsider are actually your greatest strengths? This talk will flip your understanding of what it means to grow in UX, revealing a path that celebrates the unique rather than conforming to the conventional.

In this opening session, we believe that the most profound discoveries happen when we dare to look beyond the obvious. These aren't just talks - they're power-ups for your design journey. Come hungry for transformation, because once you've tasted what's possible here, there's no going back to ordinary design thinking. Ready to level up? Our first session begins soon.
