World Forum Disrupt: Keynote
October 7th, 2020

Product World Forum is a one-day  platform at which leading product management, and development executives provide tactical insights on the innovative initiatives implemented at the world’s most successful organisations.

The event’s focus is simple: Each speaker shares their INCREDIBLE story, and our community walks away with actionable tactics, and strategies they can implement into their own projects the same day.

A day filled with keynote presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities… See you there! 

Erin’s talk:

UI, the end is nigh: Shifting design approaches in an ever changing technology landscape

As designers, how do we prepare for a future where UI is not needed? In an ever increasing world of connected devices, AI, and even devices that can read brainwaves, how can we adapt product design UX for a UI-less world?
