One-day rates and full registrations available

The Create10 conference centres on interaction design, a young discipline with roots in human-computer interaction, ergonomics,
product and graphic design, multi-media and art. An interaction designer is a difficult person to pigeon hole and can be found in
mobile phone companies, consumer product manufacturers, design consultancies, as a single practitioner, or within academic computing
and design departments.

As well as presentations of academic research and projects, the conference will provide real learning opportunities through case
studies, discussion and a conference showcase. We also present theoretical and research perspectives on the process of design
innovation and approaches to creativity in HCI; how human factors can be integrated within a creative design process, methods that encourage
creativity in interaction design, and the challenges of working in multi-disciplinary teams.

Create10 Design Exhibition
Alongside the conference and showcase, Create10 is very pleased to be presenting some of the most innovative work from current international
students alongside works from the awarding-winning design practitioners who selected the student exhibits. The conference organizers are particularly pleased that the winning students' entries will be on public show at Inspace, a fantastic new-media exhibition space.
