We are very excited to announce dates and details for the returning 2016 Designing for Digital Conference. D4D<http://www.designingfordigital.com/> is a two-day conference packed with intensive, hands-on workshops and informative sessions meant to expose library and information professionals to colleagues working on user experience, discovery, library space design, and usability projects in and outside of libraries, drawing expertise from the tech and education communities, as well as from peers. This year we are focusing on not just the user experience of our websites and digital tools but also how the digital world impacts our physical spaces. Dates: April 6 -7th Location: Austin, TX Speakers Our opening keynote, Jesse James Garrett<http://www.jjg.net/about/> (Adaptive Path) will talk about designing virtual and physical spaces for real humans. Our invited speakers Michelle Ha Tucker (IDEO) will talk about her work working closely with librarians to create programming and services based on users, and Frank Migliorelli (NYPL) will come back to update us on evolving digital strategies at NYPL.
