Series: Hybridconf 2014

HybridConf brought together designers and developers for two days of talks. The talks covered a wide range of topics, often with a focus on teamwork and collaboration. UX Podcast was there and interviewed some of the event’s speakers – Dan Rubin, Natasha Irizarry, Cat Noone and Scott Hanselman.

Dan Rubin was the opening keynote speaker at Hybridconf here in Stockholm with his presentation “We don’t talk anymore”. Flying in the face of his presentation title, we grabbed him for a few minutes to talk.

Natasha Irizarry wore her heart on her sleeve and gave a very personal presentation about her journey to become a UX-er. “Do what makes you great AKA How UX changed my life”. We got Natasha to shake off her jet lag and chat to us for a few minutes.

Cat Noone presented “My Grandmother’s books are neatly stored in an app” (which interestingly didn’t really mention her Grandma!). We chatted to her straight after her presentation.

Scott Hanselman dished out some serious “edutainment” (as he called it) in his presentation. He educated us about javascript at the same time as keeping us laughing and entertained. We grabbed him for a chat.

Touring UX, design and dev conference Hybridconf landed in Stockholm this year. We were there for both days to listen, learn and most importantly to interview some of the speakers. We managed to chat to four of this year’s speakers.

Dan Rubin opened day 1 with his silo-busting talk “We don’t talk anymore”. Natasha Irizarry gave us a deeply personal talk “Do what makes you great AKA how UX changed my life”. Cat Noone talked about the future of the reading experience in her talk “My Grandmother’s books are neatly stored in an app”. Scott Hanselman ended up doing two talks, including his hugely entertaining “Javascript and the rise of the new virual machine”.

(Listening time: 44 minutes)
