Nominate a "Next Generation Voice" speaker for Design Currency 2010

Nominate a "Next Generation Voice" speaker for Design Currency 2010
Ronna Chisholm, February 11, 2021 at 1:20 PM
As chair of the speakers committee, I am thrilled with our final line up of speakers for Design Currency 2010. An Icograda conference is unique in the international diversity of high quality speakers and for our Vancouver event, we aimed to not only bring an incredible range of international experts, but also to create some dynamic conversations amongst our speakers and audience.

With this in mind, the actual number of speakers over two days has been mind boggling to schedule and we are anticipating some stimulating and provocative interaction. We also have two Ted Talk speakers and incredible new people you will discover.

The selection of speakers was an exhaustive process, reaching out to our broader committee for names and sifting through about over a hundred names. Although we arrived at an amazing collection of high caliber professionals and received a resounding response to our invitations, we regretfully had to pass on many names of brilliant people.

We are confident that the audience will be blown away by our experts, but now we’d love to hear your suggestions for one more speaker!

Let us know a person you’d like to nominate who is under 30 and would do a great job at representing the ‘next generation voice’. We can’t promise anything, but we’ll do our best to bring them to our stage in Vancouver.

These suggestions are great, but I think it would make more sense if folks would post some brief background info and a rationale WHY they are the voice of the next generation. Have they spoken before? Include a link!

I respectfully nominate Haris Silic. Along with overcoming challenges such as leaving Bosnia in the middle of a war as a child, and being an outstanding emerging designer. As an intern, Haris developed and implemented an organic SEO strategy for one of the more notable firms in the Tampa, area–literally creating a new avenue for revenue generation for the firm–again, this is an intern. Haris understands the bigger, global impact of design the (the BIG D) which is rarely seen by emerging the designer just entering the industry. He is also the youngest Board member of the Tampa Bay (FL) chapter of AIGA | the professional association for design.

Hello, i´m a graphic designer working with Carlos Rosa (www.carlosrosadesigners.com) and I can't think of anyone better to be a speaker at Design Currency 2010. He's developing an amazing work about the Olympic pictograms which includes a systemic analysis about them shapes and forms.
So i'd like to nominate him!

Re: a person you’d like to nominate who is under 30 and would do a great job at representing the ‘next generation voice’. -would that be inches or centimeters?

I'd love to see Aza Raskin (head of UX for Mozilla Labs). For more details you can read his blog or see a sample post on browser based identity.

For examples of his speaking work check out his vision for a you-centric browser design and conversational computing.

Why do I think this is important? The world is moving more and more online and for this to happen, the browser has to adapt and change from what it was, to something that works for us. Aza is at the cutting edge of what Mozilla is doing and pushing development in these directions. Though these developments are currently limited to one browser (Firefox) but as new standards are written/adopted (and old ones dropped) designers need to know what is going to be possible online.

Could talk more about these issues and why they are important but going to keep this short for now.

Ohhh, one more thing. He has a big passion for beer! Gotta count for something!
