What’s the big deal about workflow?

Workflow is what we do. Day in and day out, although you may not think about it like that. Do you work with multiple applications during the day? Do you work with a developer or designer (depending on which you are)? Then that is what the D2W is all about.

We will be having 3 tracks, in 3 rooms with 60 minute sessions. So you’ll either sign up as a designer, developer or a hybrid. Besides all the sessions centering around workflow between apps and designers/developers (and some mobile devices) we will have a few business sessions for you also. A “Pimp your Resume” and biz type sessions for the people who are freelancers or just needing some updating.

Three Core Tracks

• Mobile: For both designers and developers. Design and development of mobile apps and websites.
• Designer: Not just for designers, this track is for developers who would like to know more about design, and for designers who want to increase their skills.
• Developer: Like the designer track, not just for developers, but designers who would like to know more about communicating with developers and learn some code. It will also have some more advanced level coding sessions.
