description Join us for a special installment of Refresh Portland May with Jared Spool! We’re going to move the meeting a week back to May 21. --- Experience design is no longer a nice-to-have luxury of a few organizations with tons of money and exceptional visionary management. It’s become commonplace for organizations that build products and web sites. Experience Design is a centerpiece of boardroom discussions and quickly becoming a key performance indicator for many businesses. However, you can’t just hire a couple of “experience designers” and tell them, “Go do that voodoo that you do so well.” Today’s business environment forces us to build multi-disciplinary teams, compiling a diverse group of skills and experiences to handle the many facets of the technical, business, and user requirements. In his usual entertaining and insightful manner, Jared will talk about what it takes to build a design team that meets today’s needs. He’ll demonstrate how successful Experience Design: * Must integrate the needs of the users with the requirements of the business * Is learned, but not available through introspection * Must be invisible to succeed * Is cultural * Is multi-discplinary * Thrives best in an “educate and administrate” environment You’ll see examples of designs from Apple’s iPod, Netflix, the Mayo Clinic, and Southwest Airlines, to name a few.

update Calagator::Event 1250457915 Art is War: Reinventing the Art Sales System with New Media Roll back

description Hazel Dooney is a fine art painter from Australia. She has declared open war on the art gallery system, and she’s winning. She sells her work directly to her fans and she does it mostly through her website and social media, coupled with live showings outside of gallery spaces. Earlier this year Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls created a virtual party for her fans. She didn’t expect it to be anything other than a good time and she stumbled on a way to connect with thousands of her fans directly. It’s now a regular occurrence and she’s figured out how to sell her music & artwork directly to her fans, angering her record label and art traditionalists. Amber Jean, a sculptor living in the woods in Montana, gives her fans an inside look at her studio and the wilds of Montana through her website and video podcasts. Her open communication with her fans has resulted in a huge boost in her art career. In this event we’ll explore how Hazel, Amanda, Amber, and other artists are doing an end run around agents, galleries, and managers in order to connect directly with fans, have more fun, and keep more of the revenue from their art sales for themselves. We’ll also look at how the same approach can work for craft artisans, dancers and other artists. Hazel Dooney is a fine art painter from Australia.

And in the spirit of the New Communicators, this go-round we want to give the floor over to the people and companies who are changing the world, not simply through their words, but through their actions. We'll be hosting it with our friends from Pinch at Substance World Headquarters, 1551 SE Poplar Ave, Portland, and we plan on opening our doors at 6:30pm with drinks and music, then begin the program at 7pm. Note that we have a very limited number of chairs, so if you like sitting down you might want to either show up on the earlier side or bring your own chair. We're also changing up the format this time. You have a choice between a 10 minute or a 5 minute time slot (and yes, we're going to have a stopwatch and a large hook to pull you offstage when your time is up). During your slot, tell us why you're going to change the world and how you are doing it. If you’re interested in sharing your story, send us your idea and if you want 5 or 10 minutes by Monday, October 19th at 9am. We'll then sort through the ideas to curate an interesting evening.

create Calagator::Event 1250457916 Social Media Etiquette Roll back

description nil Social media technology continues to evolve by leaps and bounds. New applications are developed and released on a regular basis, all for the purpose of helping us communicate even more often when we already do, and for creating a tighter social web. We've got the technology. Now what? This discussion focuses on what the etiquette is for using social media to communicate with other people. We ask: When does social media become narcissistic? What is the right approach to cultivate relationships in social media? When do you become a spammer, and how can you stop doing it? How do businesses communicate their brand and marketing while cultivating real relationships? How should businesses handle situations where someone complains about their services? By asking and discussing the question we can start to look at not only what we use social media for, but how we use it to create genuine relationships, while also establishing an etiquette that enables us to maintain those relationships.

description nil Hazel Dooney is a fine art painter from Australia. She has declared open war on the art gallery system, and she’s winning. She sells her work directly to her fans and she does it mostly through her website and social media, coupled with live showings outside of gallery spaces. Earlier this year Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls created a virtual party for her fans. She didn’t expect it to be anything other than a good time and she stumbled on a way to connect with thousands of her fans directly. It’s now a regular occurrence and she’s figured out how to sell her music & artwork directly to her fans, angering her record label and art traditionalists. Amber Jean, a sculptor living in the woods in Montana, gives her fans an inside look at her studio and the wilds of Montana through her website and video podcasts. Her open communication with her fans has resulted in a huge boost in her art career. In this event we’ll explore how Hazel, Amanda, Amber, and other artists are doing an end run around agents, galleries, and managers in order to connect directly with fans, have more fun, and keep more of the revenue from their art sales for themselves. We’ll also look at how the same approach can work for craft artisans, dancers and other artists.

The finished pieces will be available for hands-on play and discovery, and the source code freely downloadable. As an attendee, you will get to experience these new pieces and interact with them directly. If a piece piques your interest, download the source code and figure out how they made it. Nina Paley created a feature-length animated film, ‘Sita Sings The Blues’, and made the source content available. Now, artists around the world are taking those pieces and creating new works – in effect, having a conversation with Ms. Paley, and by continuing to make their works open and remixable, the conversation widens with each new piece.
