Time: 12:00pm-1:30pm

In-house teams face a difficult challenge of continuously working on the same brand while striving to find innovative ways to communicate that brand through design.

TUESDAY, JUNE 12

Next Wave: Creating Services for the Invisible Interface
Time: 5:30pm-8pm
Location: The Bold Italic
Tickets

Smart system design and service design go hand-in-hand as we move forward to the next generation of non-screen based interfaces. New devices and technologies are presenting opportunities for companies to create invisible and seductive service experiences. But can we fall in love with things we can't see?

Join Fjord and IxDA SF for an exploration of what this will mean for the ways people interact with these systems, and how businesses can best leverage them.

Learn about different firms' cultures and methodologies while rubbing elbows with design luminaries and up-and-comings in the environment that inspires their best work. Each studio will be open for one hour but we recommend you give yourself plenty of time to get to the next studio. This year, on Tuesday June 12th we have one walking path starting in North Beach and continuing down through the Financial District. Hope to see you there!
