NYC IxDA - The 7-Minute IxD Soapbox (a.k.a. Pecha Kucha)
http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=21895

2007-11-13 / Method / SoHo, NYC

At this fast-paced event, we're giving seven people a chance to share their ideas — for just seven minutes each. The only rule is that topic must relate to interaction design. Of course, if you simply prefer to take it all in, you're welcome to participate as an audience member.

TOPICS
Anything goes, as long as it's related to interaction design or user experience. Present some of your work; talk about a design problem you're facing; rant about a device you don't like; effuse about your favorite product; share some results from a usability test; question the value of market research in product development; relate an experience with redesigning a product. If you don't want to soapbox alone pair up with a friend or colleague. Heck, you could even do a parody of your favorite IxD guru, if you're so inclined! If it's something you're interested in, chances are very high we're interested too.

GOAL
To connect people in our diverse and powerful community who are interested in having their interaction design neurons stimulated. This event will be an extraordinary grab-bag of local voices. Practice your speaking and presenting skills! Spark some debate! Make new friends and enemies! Gain new insights!

FORMAT
Speakers may use presentation slides, show off short multimedia, demonstrate something online, or just shoot from the hip. Just make sure it's 7 minutes and no longer. After the seven soaps, we'll hold Q&A and/or discussion. Caveat: Nomenclature debates about our roles and what we call ourselves as practitioners (IA, UX, IxD, HCI, CHI, UCD, etc.) will be reserved for anyone wishing to go to the nearest pub after the event.
