Workshops
We’ve helped organize some workshops for the days before the conference (26/27 Sep). From the idea of truly helping people use and get to know technology, workshops seemed the perfect way to accomplish just that!
Everyone is invited, the workshops have different prices and they add a discount to SHiFT ticket price. Every workshop is introductory, so they should be suited to everyone. As long as you find the topics interesting, we highly recommend you to participate!
Attend all of the Workshops for FREE
Help us to promote SHiFT and get your ticket upgraded into a Golden Ticket. With it in hand you can attend all of the Workshops for FREE and more.
Creativity Workshop - Wednesday 27.09
by Dannie Jost & Henriette Weber Andersen
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. Carl Jung”
We are all born very creative and screaming. We go to school, learn to add and do other fancy stuff, and most of the time forget how be creative. In this “Creativity Workshop” we will playfully provide you with a remedial one day crash course aimed at having you claim back some of that creativity that you were born with, and borrow some more from your own resources. We will not solve all your creative problems and we do not promise that you will see God, however we do plan to have some fun looking into several aspects of creativity that are important in technology and life. This is an applied workshop, do come prepared to work on your own goals and to scream.
Designing the Next Generation of Web Applications - Wednesday 27.09
by Peter Merholz (from Adaptive Path)
As the buzz and excitement around Web 2.0 continues to increase, much is already changing in how we plan, design and develop online. In this full-day workshop, Peter Merholz looks at how new thinking is being infused into design practices. Peter and his colleague at Adaptive Path have authored some seminal essays on Web 2.0 philosophy and opportunities (available at http://www.adaptivepath.com). In this workshop, they expand on those themes of openness, trust and relinquishing control, and discuss how these traits are not threats to business, but genuine opportunities to be explored.
