Roll up your sleeves — it’s time to brush up your UX skills! How would you architect an effective multi-level navigation for a large government website? What about enterprise-grade tables and data grids with intricate forms, filters and search? Or perhaps an accessible data visualisation and charts for a complex medical data set? Well, fasten your seat belt!

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to deal with real-life UX challenges from the ground up. Get ready: you’ll sail uncharted waters, design truly complex interfaces and receive feedback from people around the world. Plus: you’ll get a UX certificate for all your hard work as well!

How are you going to help make an advertising campaign get inside people’s heads if you struggle to write words that get into your colleagues’ heads?

Accessibility is often put on the plate of developers. But, a lot of accessibility issues can be caught and avoided in the mockups and design phase, by following best practices such as WCAG guidelines. If you’ve never heard of it, you are in the right place! 

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to identify and address design issues early on, ensuring accessibility from the start. Things like: are we achieving the right contrast ratio, and are colours being used effectively? But colours are just the tip of the iceberg!  What about typography, is this text easy to read? Forms are also a crucial aspect of accessibility: I’ll teach you how to make them more inclusive, from error prevention to recovery and beyond. We’ll focus (haha pun intended) on essential elements like keyboard navigation, gesture controls, and drag-and-drop functionality—key factors in designing and documenting complex components for users with diverse disabilities. We’ll check screen reader usage and how to build and document a strong information architecture using headings, titles, and identifying landmarks. We’ll cover alternatives to images, what designers can do about that, and multimedia, audio, video content, to charts and graphs. 

AI is not ChatGPT — especially if you want to gain real firepower for marketing instead of occasional text generation and brainstorming. But it is a great start. In this workshop, come prepared for Marek to change your entire perspective on what tools and language models you can use them. He’ll show you how to combine them to generate higher-quality outputs and the best ways to interconnect and automate them to minimize your work — all while improving the quality of your outputs in less time.

Are you ready to unlock the power of Jobs to be Done (JTBD)? In this interactive workshop, Martina and Tomáš will guide you through transforming research insights into actionable JTBDs. You’ll learn the fundamentals of the JTBD framework, why research is key to shaping effective jobs, and how to tackle common first-timer challenges. The session will also touch on how AI can support and enhance the process. Through real-life examples, engaging exercises, and expert insights, you’ll discover how to identify and articulate the core jobs your customers hire your product to do.

The React Compiler is meant to make developers' lives easier, allowing them to write business logic in applications and stop dealing with manual performance optimisation techniques like memoisation. But is this really the case? Does the React Compiler solve all problems and, if so, at what cost? Is it truly a game changer, or just a fad?

In this hands-on workshop, Martin will explore how the React Compiler operates and what to expect from it. He’ll answer these questions using real-world examples. He’ll also show you how to integrate the compiler into an existing project and measure its impact.
