Jan 6, 2010: CHIFOO Meeting: Confessions of a Public Speaker with Scott Berkun at White Stag Building

fellene — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:18:41 -0700

Presented by Scott Berkun,
author of "Confessions of a Public Speaker" and other books

If you wonder why your wonderful ideas rarely get accepted, or are compromised beyond recognition in meeting after meeting, it might not be your creative design talents that are the problem. It’s your ability to frame, shape and pitch your ideas effectively to others.
This fun, brutally honest, interactive talk, loosely based on the O’Reilly book ‘Confessions of a Public Speaker’, will give you everything you need to know to present, pitch, convince and sell your ideas so your world domination plans can begin.

Nov 12, 2009: Refresh Portland November: Nick Finck on The Mobile User Experience at Jive Software

Bram Pitoyo — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:19:27 -0700

Join Refresh Portland for our last session of 2009 on mobile user experience design! This time, we have Nick Finck, Principal and Director of User Experience at Blue Flavor, coming from Seattle.

This presentation will look at how the mobile context has evolved over the years and where it is headed. We’ll explore the differences between the web and the mobile web, why these differences are important, what the key user experience principals are for the mobile web …oh yeah, and there will be plenty of examples for you to sink your teeth into. Nick will give you the information you need to design an optimal user experience for the mobile web as well as what decisions you will need to make along the way.

November is mobile web month! Be sure to check our friends at Portland Web Innovators for the marketing side of the story on November 4, where Elia Freedman will talk about A Look Back, A Look Forward:
