CREATE 2007: Creative Inventions, Innovations and Everyday Designs in HCI

13-14 June 2007
British Computer Society, Covent Garden, London

CREATE is a 2-day conference about creating innovative interactions, whether digital consumer products, interactive services or interaction paradigms. A conference where the emphasis is not on presenting technology or evaluation, but to share the wealth of creative ideas we have developed to resolve problems, to create new capabilities, or new functions. A conference where the aim is to spawn further creative designs that can make a difference to people. In keeping with this theme, we invite people to bring:
- Their experiences - designs, both successes and failures, that have pushed the boundaries of interaction
- Their approaches - principles and methods that have delivered new, people-centred ideas and products.

CREATE will present cases of innovative interactions and visualisations, and discussions of how we innovate. It will show the role of user-centred design in the innovation process, in a workshop format allowing us to debate the ways in which new designs come about and how novel but usable interactions can be developed.

Members of the Ergonomics Society and members of the British Computer Society: £188 (£160 plus vat)
