New Ideas for the Economist's Ideas Conference, Part 2

frog design recently conducted a day of design research at the Economist’s Human Potential 2010 conference in New York. The research was intended to look closely at the event (and by proxy the Economist’s global series of events called The Ideas Economy: Ideas That Press Forward), and to find ways to enhance attendee experience during the conference. A small team of designers challenged participants at the event to disrupt normal conference-going patterns by engaging in playful micro-collaborations that could challenge their own notions of what a conference was. They created a game called “Playables” consisting of five cards, each of which had their own challenge or task. To learn more about the thinking and execution of the experiment, see this blog post and video. Following are the results of the research, including a presentation slideshow that you can also find on frog design’s Slideshare page.
