HCID 2024 Conference - Design for All

Overview

The HCID Open Day is a mini conference run by the Centre for Human Computer Interaction Design (HCID) at City St George’s, University of London. Each year we invite in guest speakers from industry and academia to talk about UX / HCI / Interaction Design and related fields.

The theme is ‘Design for All’.  With the strands of People – widening participation, inclusion, accessibility, Planet – considering designs impact on the natural world alongside how to design sustainably, and Practice – best practice and new techniques relevant to the theme. This builds on our previous themes of ‘Design for Good’ and ‘Design Better’.

The Centre for Human Computer Interaction Design (HCID) have chosen to continue focusing on how design can be a force for good as we believe it reflects the kind of work we are currently doing, and that its every designers responsibility to consider the impact of their work.

This year’s event will be on Wednesday 18th September 2024. Our schedule and speaker details are available on the HCID2024 website.
