A presentation is more than just the speaker, the writing, or the visuals — it’s an entire experience that you’re creating. To make the best, most engaging and impactful experience, you have to follow a design path that looks a lot like the UX design cycle. Instead of thinking, “ok, time to open PowerPoint and design the visuals for this presenter,” you need to think beyond the slides!
The metaverse has been all over the headlines, but why does it matter for design professionals? This session will explore what the metaverse is (and isn’t), how it is poised to change how we work and connect with each other, and what that means for design, presentations, and interactive experiences. We’ll hop through some metaverse platforms, and discuss both practical applications and how getting metaverse-ready will help you stay on the leading edge and stand out professionally.

It’s time to level the presentation playing field. In this session we’ll dive into what an accessible PowerPoint document is and how to create one. Learn the fundamentals of accessible slide design, including using preset layouts, readable fonts, descriptive links, and alternative text. That way, you’ll offer everyone in your audience the chance to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same experiences.

Graphic designers are visual problem solvers, experience creators, communicators, and storytellers. But the stories they tell are not usually their own. Designers use their skills to express the ideas of their clients, often in collaboration with other creatives. When balancing the rights of the designer, the company, other creatives, and the client, the laws of contract, copyright, and trademark work together to protect everyone involved.
In this session you’ll learn:
Understanding your rights and those of your client, company, and colleagues is key to a successful design practice.
How can designers, analysts, and developers apply a race- and ethnicity-conscious lens to their data analysis and data visualization work? How can we take a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) perspective to our research, data, and visualizations? Just as we carefully consider our written words, we should be equally careful in how we visually present data to our readers, users, and audiences, including the words we use in and around those visuals.
Taking a DEI perspective means considering how the specific lived experiences and perspectives of the people and communities we are studying, as well as our readers, will perceive information and carry that information forward. In this talk, we discuss a variety of techniques that data visualization producers should consider when creating visuals with this DEI approach.
