COLLABORATION
Someone threw us an idea...
Is collaborative notes taking in conferences a possibility?
Are people willing to share their notes selflessly?
If yes to both questions, can this activity occurs organically?

Day 1 - Collaboration through Diversity
• Our key message is to encourage people to learn to work with others, respect others’ professions, be collaborative for the greater good.
• Likewise, we hope our sponsors & partners demonstrate similar values towards their competitors and refrain from “hard-selling” products or services.
Day 2 - Bridging Insights into Design
• Our key message is to advocate organisations and practitioners to make effort to extract customer insights to drive key design decisions.
• As organiser, we hope to understand the attendees’ needs and goals for attending UXSG conference through the interactions and dialogue (conference mobile app, surveys, informal discussion, lunch-time sharing etc)

What are the types of UX work?
Consistent demand on UX expertise for:
‣Corporate, eCommerce, Transactional Websites and Intranets
What are the types of UX work?
Rapid Growth on the demand for better user experience for Mobile Apps
The genuine opportunities are good, useful B2B mobile apps but not many people are doing that at the moment.
What are the types of UX work?
Gradual interest for various industry sectors on:
‣Retail Experience and Service Design
What are the types of UX work?
Unsure on the demand for Paid Workshops on UX topics
Many designers seems to think that everything can be self-‐learned, why bother pay to learn from someone else...
