DESCRIPTION
I recently had the opportunity to attend my first IxDA (Interaction Design Association) conference in Amsterdam. As a first-time attendee, I absorbed a lot of the excitement and lessons from talks, and met the legends of Interaction Design, fellow designers and professionals, and the enthusiastic volunteer team of design students. To share the learnings with my team back in Munich, I prepared those slides with some takeaways and highlights from the conference. Photos Credit: IxDA Flickr Steam.
