Theme Features UX Prototyping: New Mediums for Designers John Goff Saturday, March 14 // 11:00am // JW Marriott: Salon C UX design prototyping has come a long way in recent years. New tools allow for building rich interactions and validating a design without coding HTML or CSS. Keeping up with this space and figuring out which solution is best for your needs can be a challenge. In this session we'll take a look at the latest UX prototyping tools and hear about what works well for designers who are using them. Designing for the Mind Roger Dooley, Nir Eyal, Natalie Nahal Saturday, March 14 // 12:30pm // JW Marriott: Salon B Expert panelists will teach you how to design products, websites, and marketing campaigns for how your customer's mind really works. What made WhatsApp and Instagram worth billions compared to hundreds of comparable apps? They were designed to be habit forming, and used a brain-oriented approach to attracting and keeping users. This session will be packed with takeaways. From Digital Sharecropping to Data Emancipation Gene Becker, Laurie Frick, Julia Lane, Mike Liebhold Saturday, March 14 // 5:00pm // JW Marriott: Salon B What if we "the users" could take back our data?

Humanizing Data: Bridging UX Research + Analytics Nellwyn Thomas, Alex Wright Sunday, March 15 // 11:00am // JW Marriott: Salon C With the rise of big data, analytics allows us to understand user behav- ior in more detail than ever before.
