Keynote Title<\/strong>: Progress, Promise, and Perils in User Experience: A Midterm Report Card<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>: User Experience (UX) can trace its roots to the 1982 ACM SIGCHI (Computer-Human Interaction) conference. Focusing on human factors in computing systems, the conference attracted presenters from cognitive psychology, design, and technical communications, among other fields. The meeting was\u00a0transdisciplinary<\/em>, meaning it did not just combine perspectives from diverse fields, but instead developed an entirely new discipline offering something above and beyond its component parts.<\/p>\n

This transdisciplinary approach to UX continues today, as contributors from marketing, quality engineering, and others join the movement. New disciplines like UX, however, have their challenges. For example, established departments sometimes try to claim UX as their own, corporate silos erect barriers, and practitioners with different backgrounds clash. Further, the addition of new subspecialties, such as UX Research, UX Design, UX Writing and others threaten to create new silos, potentially weakening the discipline.<\/p>\n

This keynote presentation recaps exactly how far UX has come in the past four decades, what is possible in the near future, and changes we need to make to achieve our potential.<\/p>\n
