UX Week 2009 announces 3 invited speakers
posted at 2:29 PM on December 29, 2008

UX Week 2009 will be looking outside the immediate field of design, identifying people who influence our work from other disciplines. With that theme in mind, I’m pleased to announce our first three invited speakers:

Scott McCloud

Scott McCloud has been writing, drawing, and examining comics since 1984. He’s best known for his seminal work Understanding Comics, which has developed a cult following among UX professionals and visual thinkers the world around. His most recent notable work is the comic he produced for the release of Google Chrome, a next generation web browser. You can visit him online at http://scottmccloud.com.

Erin McKean

Erin McKean calls herself a Dictionary Evangelist. She was most recently Chief Consulting Editor, American Dictionaries for Oxford University Press, and was the editor in chief of the New Oxford American Dictionary, 2e. She is the editor of VERBATIM: The Language Quarterly. and the author of Weird and Wonderful Words, More Weird and Wonderful Words, Totally Weird and Wonderful Words, and That’s Amore (also about words). Previously, she was the editorial manager for the Thorndike-Barnhart Dictionaries at ScottForesman, a Pearson company.

Genevieve Bell

Genevieve is an Intel Fellow and director of the User Experience Group within the Intel Digital Home Group. Bell joined Intel in 1998 as a researcher in the Corporate Technology Group’s People and Practices Research team – Intel’s first social science oriented research team. She helped drive the company’s first non-U.S. field studies to inform business group strategy and products and conducted groundbreaking work in urban Asia in the early 2000s.
