Contentious topics, four panelists, one empty chair.About this EventIt’s time once again to host our beloved IxDebate, and this one will be a doozy! IxDA Pittsburgh is celebrating our 20th anniversary of organizing interesting, entertaining, and relevant events for the UX community. It just so happens that this is also the 10th IxDebate. That’s two significant milestones to celebrate, and we hope you will join us. Let’s make this one for the ages!The IxDebate FormatWe’ll have an opening panel of four local designers whom we’ll be announcing leading up to the event. Topics will be drawn from a hat and posed to the panel. The audience isn’t allowed to speak, but anyone can claim the empty chair and join the panel to have their say. Once discussion on that topic is done, somebody on the panel has to step down to free a chair for the next audience member to step up. Doors open at 6:00, and we’ll get the proceedings underway about 6:30. You can suggest debate topics when you register. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/d042e400-b9b1-11f0-91c5-2b5efab58087-rimg-w1110-h740-dc1a1413-gmir.jpg The PanelistsWe’ll be announcing our panelists leading up to the event, so watch this space. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/d0b5f120-b9b1-11f0-b18d-2de9eb7cb3fc-rimg-w740-h740-dc74625b-gmir.jpg Val HeadVal is a Principal Designer at Adobe and the author of Designing Interface Animation.
