This is a time to reflect, identify, innovate and capitalize on the new opportunities that are building and sustaining businesses in the present and future. Many of us have been reinventing ourselves and our practices post-bubble. Our fundamental skills (assets) enable us to give form (visual, structural, behavioral and social) to ideas, mediate and facillitate, relate solutions to problems and opportunities and make things understandable, accessible, useful, usable and desirable. This year, we will discuss and explore how Experience Design can be better integrated into business to maximize our assets and integrate our insights, processes and values to build and sustain successful business. We will discuss how experience designers of all kinds can better collaborate with other team members and co-workers to be more effective. We'll concentrate on strategies for the future, and of course, we'll continue our tradition of Show & Tells. Since this is primarily a vision and planning session for the community, the Summit is still an invitation-only event. To keep the meeting to a manageable working group, we're planning for approximately 80 attendees. Please join us for what promises to be a seminal meeting. Mark your calendars and watch for presentor information in the coming weeks!

Where are the new horizons? - findability - enterprise architecture - smart products * Breakout preparation: At end of Friday, ED steering committee members and presentors will meet to capture issues for Saturday's breakout topics. The topics should address the question: 'Knowing what we now know, what should our outreach efforts be to clients, partners and educational institutions, individually and collectively?' This will give us time to group, identify and categorize the class of problems and issues to work on for Saturday's session after the Show & Tells. The purpose of the breakouts is to create position statements, guidelines or research topics. ------------------------------------- Friday evening event: Cirque de Soleil's O! Many people will be attending the 10:30pm show on Friday night. This is one of the most elaborate and magical experiences the famous company has created. The theater is specially created to house and manage the production since it is performed in and on water. If you would like to attend, you will need to buy tickets yourself (or band together and purchase them en masse). We suggest you purchase your tickets when you register for your room at the Bellagio as hotel guests get preferred seats. The performances always sell out well in advance, so you should do this soon if you're interested. http://bellagio.admission.com/cgi/guide.cgi?l=EN&C=US ------------------------------------- SATURDAY ------------------------------------- 9-10:00am The exciting stuff going on in the AIGA ED community - Experience Design case study initiative and preview of DUX publishing formats (The Design for User Experience Conference-- DUX-- will be in late spring 2003 and is co-sponsored by AIGA ED, SIGCHI and SIGGRAPH) - AIGA ED local group initiatives 10-11:30 Show n'tell (2 concurrent locations) 11:30-12 Group photo, break 12-12:30 Select breakout topics and begin 12:30-2 lunch w/ breakout groups 3:00-6 Present breakout findings, wrap-up SHOW & TELLS The most popular AFD Summit tradition.
