Crea Luxury Day
Crea Geneva and Inseec were organizing a big conference day on luxury this 15th September, and I had the chance of being one of the guests. Among the speakers was Jean-Noël Kapferer, a famous French professor and researcher on media and luxury. His books were part of my preparation for exams, and I was feeling lucky to meet him in person. The event was held at the Fédération des Entreprises Romandes in Geneva. Entering the conference room, guests were offered a nice Caran d’Ache pen in a custom box, giving it already a luxury twist (many thanks to the organizers for that!)
After TechNet @Bangkok
I am just back from the TechNet-21 conference, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from the 11th to the 15th May. As a reminder, this conference is organized by the World Health Organization and Unicef, and gathers immunization experts from all around the world to think and discuss about vaccination best practices and policy. I had the chance of being invited to this event in order to present a project, and gather feedbacks from present stakeholders. After a few months of preparation, we came up with a prototype and interactive wireframes.
@TechNet-21 Conference in Bangkok
From the 11th to the 15th May, I have the chance of being invited to the WHO and Unicef TechNet-21 conference on immunization. During the 14th edition, held in Bangkok, Thailand, a global network of immunization professionals gather to share experiences, meet and discuss latest developments in immunization practices and policies. I am invited as a UX Consultant to present and test a new digital tool related to public health with present stakeholders and users.
Crea Digital Day
The Crea Digital Day took place yesterday at the Fondation des Entreprises de Suisse Romande in Geneva (Switzerland.) Co-organized and brought to digital professionals for free by Crea school, eMakina and Bilan magazine, this one-day conference featured speakers from Instagram, Tesla, The Audience and Terre des Hommes. If a few speeches turned out having very little to bring to the conversation about digital, or even one or two being plain advertising for a product or a service, we had the chance to attend a few passionating sessions, with charismatic speakers.
First prize for User Experience at Le Meilleur du Web
A project I have worked on as a UX at blue-infinity was recently awarded first prize for User Experience at Le Meilleur du Web awards in Geneva (Switzerland.) The project was a tablet application for the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Dedicated to school teachers, it aims at helping them organize and animate the visit for their students. The application was awarded for ease-of-use, intuitive navigation, service design and quality of the final product. Congratulations to the whole team! Since 2011, Le Meilleur du Web highlights digital expertise and encourages excellence in technologies in Swiss Romande. It was founded by Cominmag, ICT Journal, Facebook and Breew, and in partnership with Best of Swiss Web.
World Usability Day @Geneva
Last Thursday was the World Usability Day: events in 40 countries all over the world happened to promote UX and design thinking. In Geneva, a full-day event was organized by Telono, a well-known local company specialized in UX and user testing. The first part of the day was a training, but I has the chance to be invited to the Afterwork. Nicolas Nova, from Near Future Laboratory, first presented Ethnography and interaction design: how to get to know users to come up with better designs. Then Florian Egger, founder of Telono, presented slides about multi-channel customer experience. Both conferences were very interesting (thank you for that!) and I especially agree with two ideas:
