UX Burlington 2019

UX Burlington 2019 Burlington, VT My First UX Burlington While scanning the countryside for conferences in the New England area, I was drawn to UX Burlington. So I snagged a ticket. Best decision I made that week. More on the food that I had there on Church Street as well. Morning Keynote Victor Yocco gave the morning keynote. “Designing For Short Attention Spans”. A great way to kick off the conference. Filled with humor, lightheartedness and information, I was glad I had attended because this keynote made me think about a lot of UX things I've been dealing with at work. Three main points of the talk were: 1. What's an Attention Span? 2. Decision Making Heuristics 3. Tactical Design Elements We all have an attention span that is less than that of a goldfish. Designers need to care about their users' attention though. Victor touched upon the questions we have to be asking not only our team and stakeholders, but for our users as well.
