Planning an event for designers who specialize in interaction can be a daunting task. Jennifer Bove recounts how she approached designing a conference like she was designing a service and engaged the host city in creative ways.
I first met Jennifer Bove in Austin, Texas, at the annual interactive hootenanny SXSW. We had just watched the premiere of the industrial design film Objectifiedat the Paramount Theater and, after being introduced by a mutual friend who thought we might like each other, made our way together over to the film's afterparty at the Driskill Hotel.
