Gerry McGovern and Karen McGrane to headline
Two world-class speakers and pioneers of the discipline are already confirmed to headline the conference.
Gerry McGovern has been a thought leader on the strategic value of quality web content for 15 years. Internationally renowned as an author, speaker, consultant, and teacher on web management, usability, and task-focused content, Gerry is CEO of Customer Carewords in Dublin, Ireland. His clients include Microsoft, Cisco, Enterprise Ireland, and HSBC. Gerry has written four books, including Content Critical, Killer Web Content and his latest, The Stranger’s Long Neck.
Karen McGrane has pioneered the disciplines of information architecture, user experience design, and content strategy for 15 years. The very first Information Architect at Razorfish, she became the VP and National Lead for User Experience. Over the decade she spent there, she led projects for dozens of clients, overseeing major redesign initiatives for The New York Times, Condé Nast, Disney, and Citibank. Today, Karen is Senior Partner at Bond Art + Science in New York City, teaches the MFA in Interaction Design at the School of Visual Arts, and speaks at conferences around the world.
Diverse format, central London location
The conference will feature both single-track and multi-track sessions, half-day workshops, a debate or two, Ignite-style short talks, and plenty of social events around town.
