- Exercising UX for Social Impact

The various disciplines within user experience design - including information architecture - hold powerful promise for resolving complex social problems. UX for Good, launched in 2010, has been revealing that promise in high-profile, annual design challenges in New Orleans with The GRAMMY Foundation, in Vancouver with The Dalai Lama Center and, later this year, in Kigali, Rwanda with The Aegis Trust. Rather than talk about their work, the founders of UX for Good - Jason Ulaszek of Manifest Digital and Jeff Leitner of Insight Labs - will lead participants through a design challenge in real-time, providing a Washington, DC-based organization with participants' best thinking.
