How to transform a 130-year old bank into a design-led organization?
Imagine that you’re challenged to evolve the development line of 70% of a design team, in a context where the organization is thinking about new technologies and a strong economic recession. In this talk, Cinthy and Arturo will tell the story of the pains and opportunities that they went through as a team and how this led them to build what would be the roadmap for their talent strategy for the coming years, aiming at building a design-led bank that will help ensure a sustainable future.

AI and UX: Designing an Ethically Aware Future
The last two decades have meant a qualitative leap in the creation of technology that has changed our lives together with the understanding that has created unwanted effects affecting us as individuals and as a collective. In addition to that, this period ends with two years of an industry struggling to leave behind a deep crisis, layoffs, and find a new path. Altogether it is perfect timing for designers to make a deep reflection about what’s needed for us before moving forward in the next twenty years. Join Aitor on a walk to get some insights into how designers can adapt to play a main role in companies to create more impactful, positive, balanced, and meaningful products and services for their customers.

The words behind our origin
In LatinAmerica, where food has so deeply shaped our identity, words serve as ingredients to cook identity discourse, belonging and pride. These cultural expressions inspire us, and at the same time, can be useful to develop and progress. Brands communicate verbally, visually, and experientially. Every one of those languages is equally important; and to achieve powerful identities, brands need a clear personality, tone of voice, defined topics and main messages. It is through words that concepts become visual solutions and through messages that brands communicate with their audience, how they truly connect and become lovemarks.

Rewire Your Team: Embracing Neurodiversity by Design
Neurodiversity is more than an inclusive headcount. It’s about building sustainable creative environments that benefit everyone. Belonging shouldn’t be a nice-to-have feeling. Join Amy, a Product Designer and late-diagnosed autistic woman, as she walks us through her personal journey and shares with us the thoughts and learnings she’s had along the way. During her talk, Amy will share key takeaways to help us learn about the rapidly growing population of late-diagnosed neurodiverse women in the world. We’ll discover how neurodiversity intersects all other diversity and why that is an important call to the future of design culture. Amy will tap into actionable ways to improve hiring practices, sustainable work environments and normalizing different types of effective communication.

Leadership and Development of Design Teams: How to Guide the Maturity Process
This workshop will review the “Team Development Theory” that will help you identify the maturity phase of the team in which you work and will allow you to plan what you can do to accompany people in meeting their objectives and professional growth. We know that management and leadership tools are not something we delve into in our design careers, but fear no more! Because this practical workshop will give you insights into how to advance as a leader and manage your team, from how to organize your feedback sessions, to how to collaborate and set goals. It is a workshop designed for any designer who is leading teams or plans to exercise a manager role, but no previous experience is necessary to participate.

Depatriarchize design for social and planetary restoration. Female and dissident voices in Latin American design
Despite the progress made by women, the lgbtqia+ community and the dissident voices conquering spaces within the design industry, the decision-making tables remain predominantly white and male-dominated. This disparity results in only a partial narrative being told, and it is from this vantage point that Diseña Colectiva emerges as a platform that embarks on fresh, diverse avenues in design rooted in collectivity. Their aim is to construct spaces of resistance, care and expression seeking other forms of design. In this talk, Andrea and Taina will invite us to look at design through a different lens, one that reflects diverse experiences and challenges the status quo. While navigating us through a system map showcasing how they have weaved a community over the last three years, they will share how collective and multidisciplinary design can make a positive impact on society, the planet, and our communities.

The three crises of Artificial Intelligence. What role did behavioral sciences play in the design of new technologies?
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence has moved from the pages of science fiction books to newspaper articles. Every day, we wake up with new discoveries that expand the boundaries of what we thought possible. Technology provides us with great opportunities, but it also poses intricate challenges that touch upon fundamental aspects of our humanity. The media has alerted us of two crises linked to new technologies. We’re warned about the existential crisis and the labor crisis, but they have paid much less attention to the humanist crisis and its impact, which takes form in a vague anxiety, we all are beginning to feel firsthand. The emergence of artificial intelligence will have an enormous impact on the anthropological, philosophical and social conception that we have of ourselves. Human beings have always defined ourselves by what we do. We are our professions and our artistic creations. As artificial intelligences occupy more spaces in the labor market and in the field of leisure and culture, what will happen to our identity? Who will we be and what kind of life will we be able to build? The existential crisis requires a rigorous technical approach; the labor crisis will need a political approach to keep the different social agents in mind; and humanistic crisis, will require that design practitioners incorporate the wisdom of human and behavioral sciences to develop new tools.

Design for the Post-Colonial: Integrating Emotional and Cultural Aspects into Contemporary Design Practice
In contemporary design practice, there is often a heavy reliance on rational, Cartesian methods, emphasizing functionality while neglecting the profound emotional and cultural depths. This approach overlooks what are termed as “post-colonial needs,” underscoring the urgency to integrate perspectives and approaches that have been marginalized or underestimated in the traditional design narrative. In this talk, José de la O will present a series of case studies from his academic and professional journey that illuminate this concept. These examples will encompass a diverse range from research projects and interaction design to product design, all contextualized within his doctoral research. These cases will not only propose alternatives to conventional design methodologies but also provoke other designers to critically reassess and expand their own practices. José’s presentation aims to inspire a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to design, where emotional and cultural dimensions are considered crucial to crafting impactful and meaningful designs.

Design as a link to the future: Navigating a storm (?) of uncertainty
Have you wondered if Design Thinking is losing its shine? We believe that, on the contrary, it is being reborn. Over the years, it has made organizations worldwide re-think, question and improve the way they do things, which continues to contribute to promoting a culture of collaboration and innovation in our teams. Even more so in our current apocalyptic context: layoffs, political and environmental crises, and the arrival of new technologies. In this practical workshop with the 2 Ale’s, we will: – Team up to explore how our role as designers influences our leadership and the demands of the business – We will present 2 real situations so that you can question, in a safe space, your actions and skills as designers facing the future By the end of the workshop, you will have developed and reflected on key skills (such as empathetic emotional intelligence, the ability to trust, transparent and assertive communication, and having a future focus) that you must have to successfully function in a senior role, and start to be a radical optimist in your organization. Action, reflection and execution. Who can stop you after this transformative experience?

Be a conduit, not a creator: Futurism as writing and designing
The future isn’t a place, it’s a story we craft in the present through our choices, actions, and principles. To design an equitable, inclusive, and frankly, more hopeful future, we need a more pluralistic approach. In this optimistic talk, V. Sri will share with us principles and stories about how we might broaden our toolset. It’s about writing and designing a story we all want to live out together. V will guide us through: – The future is not binary – Don’t leave out the impossible – Challenge the dominant narrative – Make friends with hard empathy – Be a conduit, not a creator

Preferable Worlds: Design and Alternative Futures
To say that we are living a key moment in the history of humanity is no longer an exaggeration. A pandemic that doesn’t seem to have completely gone away, unprecedented levels of inequality, a crisis of democratic systems around the world, the dizzying explosion of Artificial Intelligence, and the already very present effects of climate change. If human history was a television series, we would be on a real cliffhanger: what happens in the next decades will decide what happens in the next centuries and beyond. This critical moment comes precisely when design is recognized as a key profession to generate value and, therefore, as an ideal practice to take the reins of change and thus turn this crisis into a transition towards preferable futures. James Dator’s “four generic images of the future” are a well-established framework in the field of futures (and particularly useful for exploring broad, long-term themes) that, quite presciently, map current discussions about possible futures and preferable for the remainder of this century. In this talk, Jorge Camacho will present the basic concepts of this framework to explore how design could contribute and adapt to each of these alternative futures. He will inspire us to imagine ourselves as designers in any of those alternative futures.

Too much training, too little technology: Defining meaningful design challenges for the next decade
In the last 20 years the field of user centric & user experience design has matured at an astounding pace and developed to become extremely effective to solve tactical design challenges, however the scale and connected nature of the problems that we as humankind face on a daily basis begs for us to step up our game as creative professionals and become better at identifying, articulating and aligning “Good challenges” with organizational needs. I would like to share how at Volvo Cars we have set very ambitious product & sustainability goals as a company to dive into the challenges of strategic problem framing & design.

Human Spatial Computing and the road to Inclusion
Our relationship with technology has advanced significantly, from using large mainframe computers to wearing small, portable devices that enhance our daily lives. Today, the focus is on Human Spatial Computing, which involves interacting with technology using our entire body instead of just keyboards and mice. This shift has led to the development of immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), which require designing experiences that cater to human needs rather than just machines. Human Spatial Computing is a field that has the potential to transform many areas, from healthcare to remote work. However, it’s crucial to prioritize inclusivity and accessibility while developing these technologies. This talk will emphasize the significance of creating groundbreaking solutions that cater to the needs of this new era by highlighting examples of current tools and ongoing research in spatial computing.

In addition to that, this period ends with two years of an industry struggling to leave behind a deep crisis, layoffs, and find a new path. Altogether it is perfect timing for designers to make a deep reflection about what’s needed for us before moving forward in the next twenty years. Join Aitor on a walk to get some insights into how designers can adapt to play a main role in companies to create more impactful, positive, balanced, and meaningful products and services for their customers.

The words behind our origin
In LatinAmerica, where food has so deeply shaped our identity, words serve as ingredients to cook identity discourse, belonging and pride. These cultural expressions inspire us, and at the same time, can be useful to develop and progress. Brands communicate verbally, visually, and experientially. Every one of those languages is equally important; and to achieve powerful identities, brands need a clear personality, tone of voice, defined topics and main messages. It is through words that concepts become visual solutions and through messages that brands communicate with their audience, how they truly connect and become lovemarks.

Rewire Your Team: Embracing Neurodiversity by Design
Neurodiversity is more than an inclusive headcount. It’s about building sustainable creative environments that benefit everyone. Belonging shouldn’t be a nice-to-have feeling. Join Amy, a Product Designer and late-diagnosed autistic woman, as she walks us through her personal journey and shares with us the thoughts and learnings she’s had along the way. During her talk, Amy will share key takeaways to help us learn about the rapidly growing population of late-diagnosed neurodiverse women in the world. We’ll discover how neurodiversity intersects all other diversity and why that is an important call to the future of design culture. Amy will tap into actionable ways to improve hiring practices, sustainable work environments and normalizing different types of effective communication.

Leadership and Development of Design Teams: How to Guide the Maturity Process
This workshop will review the “Team Development Theory” that will help you identify the maturity phase of the team in which you work and will allow you to plan what you can do to accompany people in meeting their objectives and professional growth. We know that management and leadership tools are not something we delve into in our design careers, but fear no more! Because this practical workshop will give you insights into how to advance as a leader and manage your team, from how to organize your feedback sessions, to how to collaborate and set goals. It is a workshop designed for any designer who is leading teams or plans to exercise a manager role, but no previous experience is necessary to participate.

Depatriarchize design for social and planetary restoration. Female and dissident voices in Latin American design
Despite the progress made by women, the lgbtqia+ community and the dissident voices conquering spaces within the design industry, the decision-making tables remain predominantly white and male-dominated. This disparity results in only a partial narrative being told, and it is from this vantage point that Diseña Colectiva emerges as a platform that embarks on fresh, diverse avenues in design rooted in collectivity. Their aim is to construct spaces of resistance, care and expression seeking other forms of design. In this talk, Andrea and Taina will invite us to look at design through a different lens, one that reflects diverse experiences and challenges the status quo. While navigating us through a system map showcasing how they have weaved a community over the last three years, they will share how collective and multidisciplinary design can make a positive impact on society, the planet, and our communities.

The three crises of Artificial Intelligence. What role did behavioral sciences play in the design of new technologies?
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence has moved from the pages of science fiction books to newspaper articles. Every day, we wake up with new discoveries that expand the boundaries of what we thought possible. Technology provides us with great opportunities, but it also poses intricate challenges that touch upon fundamental aspects of our humanity. The media has alerted us of two crises linked to new technologies. We’re warned about the existential crisis and the labor crisis, but they have paid much less attention to the humanist crisis and its impact, which takes form in a vague anxiety, we all are beginning to feel firsthand. The emergence of artificial intelligence will have an enormous impact on the anthropological, philosophical and social conception that we have of ourselves. Human beings have always defined ourselves by what we do. We are our professions and our artistic creations. As artificial intelligences occupy more spaces in the labor market and in the field of leisure and culture, what will happen to our identity? Who will we be and what kind of life will we be able to build? The existential crisis requires a rigorous technical approach; the labor crisis will need a political approach to keep the different social agents in mind; and humanistic crisis, will require that design practitioners incorporate the wisdom of human and behavioral sciences to develop new tools.

Design for the Post-Colonial: Integrating Emotional and Cultural Aspects into Contemporary Design Practice
In contemporary design practice, there is often a heavy reliance on rational, Cartesian methods, emphasizing functionality while neglecting the profound emotional and cultural depths. This approach overlooks what are termed as “post-colonial needs,” underscoring the urgency to integrate perspectives and approaches that have been marginalized or underestimated in the traditional design narrative. In this talk, José de la O will present a series of case studies from his academic and professional journey that illuminate this concept. These examples will encompass a diverse range from research projects and interaction design to product design, all contextualized within his doctoral research. These cases will not only propose alternatives to conventional design methodologies but also provoke other designers to critically reassess and expand their own practices. José’s presentation aims to inspire a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to design, where emotional and cultural dimensions are considered crucial to crafting impactful and meaningful designs.

Design as a link to the future: Navigating a storm (?) of uncertainty
Have you wondered if Design Thinking is losing its shine? We believe that, on the contrary, it is being reborn. Over the years, it has made organizations worldwide re-think, question and improve the way they do things, which continues to contribute to promoting a culture of collaboration and innovation in our teams. Even more so in our current apocalyptic context: layoffs, political and environmental crises, and the arrival of new technologies. In this practical workshop with the 2 Ale’s, we will: – Team up to explore how our role as designers influences our leadership and the demands of the business – We will present 2 real situations so that you can question, in a safe space, your actions and skills as designers facing the future By the end of the workshop, you will have developed and reflected on key skills (such as empathetic emotional intelligence, the ability to trust, transparent and assertive communication, and having a future focus) that you must have to successfully function in a senior role, and start to be a radical optimist in your organization. Action, reflection and execution. Who can stop you after this transformative experience?

Be a conduit, not a creator: Futurism as writing and designing
The future isn’t a place, it’s a story we craft in the present through our choices, actions, and principles. To design an equitable, inclusive, and frankly, more hopeful future, we need a more pluralistic approach. In this optimistic talk, V. Sri will share with us principles and stories about how we might broaden our toolset. It’s about writing and designing a story we all want to live out together. V will guide us through: – The future is not binary – Don’t leave out the impossible – Challenge the dominant narrative – Make friends with hard empathy – Be a conduit, not a creator

Preferable Worlds: Design and Alternative Futures
To say that we are living a key moment in the history of humanity is no longer an exaggeration. A pandemic that doesn’t seem to have completely gone away, unprecedented levels of inequality, a crisis of democratic systems around the world, the dizzying explosion of Artificial Intelligence, and the already very present effects of climate change. If human history was a television series, we would be on a real cliffhanger: what happens in the next decades will decide what happens in the next centuries and beyond. This critical moment comes precisely when design is recognized as a key profession to generate value and, therefore, as an ideal practice to take the reins of change and thus turn this crisis into a transition towards preferable futures. James Dator’s “four generic images of the future” are a well-established framework in the field of futures (and particularly useful for exploring broad, long-term themes) that, quite presciently, map current discussions about possible futures and preferable for the remainder of this century. In this talk, Jorge Camacho will present the basic concepts of this framework to explore how design could contribute and adapt to each of these alternative futures. He will inspire us to imagine ourselves as designers in any of those alternative futures.

Too much training, too little technology: Defining meaningful design challenges for the next decade
In the last 20 years the field of user centric & user experience design has matured at an astounding pace and developed to become extremely effective to solve tactical design challenges, however the scale and connected nature of the problems that we as humankind face on a daily basis begs for us to step up our game as creative professionals and become better at identifying, articulating and aligning “Good challenges” with organizational needs. I would like to share how at Volvo Cars we have set very ambitious product & sustainability goals as a company to dive into the challenges of strategic problem framing & design.

Human Spatial Computing and the road to Inclusion
Our relationship with technology has advanced significantly, from using large mainframe computers to wearing small, portable devices that enhance our daily lives. Today, the focus is on Human Spatial Computing, which involves interacting with technology using our entire body instead of just keyboards and mice. This shift has led to the development of immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), which require designing experiences that cater to human needs rather than just machines. Human Spatial Computing is a field that has the potential to transform many areas, from healthcare to remote work. However, it’s crucial to prioritize inclusivity and accessibility while developing these technologies. This talk will emphasize the significance of creating groundbreaking solutions that cater to the needs of this new era by highlighting examples of current tools and ongoing research in spatial computing.
