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”.
