700 participants attend talks and workshops on digital product development, UX and usability.
On November 8, 2018, the World Usability Day (WUD) took place in Hamburg. As it has been organized since 2007 by eparo in cooperation with the DEPARTMENT INFORMATION at the faculty Design - Media - Information of the University of Applied Science Hamburg (HAW). More than 700 participants attended the 11 lectures, the panel discussion around this year's main topic: "Design for Good or Evil " and the 6 workshops. The focus theme: "Design for Good or Evil " was the topic of several presentations and the panel discussion and was much discussed by the participants. At its core, it became clear that there are no "evil" patterns, only "evil" intentions. Ultimately, the responsibility to do good and not harm anyone lies with every company and individual working on digital products and services.
This year, the Hamburg WUD was the largest German event at World Usability Day 2018, with over 700 attendees.
You can find the individual talk slides at the respective talk.
Thanks to the German UPA for coordinating the WUD events in Germany.
