With early bird pricing only just over, conference registrations have been coming in thick and fast, putting us on track to go way beyond previous years in fact - it’s exciting!

This next fortnight we’re doing a bit of a push then on that great series of workshops we have running in the days leading up to the conference: register for a workshop before July 28 and you go in the running to win one of two handy iPod Shuffles.

Remember, if you’re already coming to the conference, a workshop is only $450 - just make sure you use the same email address you used when you registered for the conference.

And those workshops are:

Christian Crumlish - Designing social interfaces

In this full-day workshop you’ll explore the landscape of social user experience design patterns and anti-patterns, focusing on the contexts in which specific interface designs work well and the unintended consequences that make some UI ideas seem like a good idea until they turn around and bite you in your app.

A great day for: Designers, developers, architects and product specialists.

Ed Directions

This highly focussed, in-depth, whole day symposium, will address the challenge of preparing students for the changing needs of the web industry, by helping teachers, trainers, course and curriculum developers, and others in the education field keep abreast with the latest developments in standards and industry best practice, and to develop and deliver the best possible curricula and courses.

A great day for: Anyone involved in developing or delivering education for web designers and developers.

Kelly Goto - Design research: the art of getting it done

In this full-day workshop, design ethnographer Kelly Goto takes you into the real world of design research. Kelly will take you at a rapid yet accessible pace through in-depth case studies, lectures and hands-on assignments showing you new methods of understanding your audience’s behavior, not just following stats.

A great day for: Anyone working on or managing a web design or web application project.

Elliot Jay Stocks - From Photoshop to the browser

In this workshop, celebrated designer Elliot J. Stocks takes you behind the scenes of the design process, from the initial stages of briefing and research through to final comps delivered to the client for sign-off, ready to be marked-up. The final part of the workshop concentrates on the best ways to prepare your designs for markup and CSS: from sensibly organising your Photoshop layers through to cutting up images with CSS techniques in mind.

A great day for: Designers and front end developers.

Cheryl and Scott Gledhill - Beyond SEO: thinking past the quick fix

In this full day workshop you will develop solid strategies to make SEO part of the day-to-day process in your workplace. Led by Scott Cheryl Gledhill of Molt:n Digital and pinch/zoom, you will learn what part of SEO should stay in-house and when it might be time to bring specialists in to do the job.

A great day for: Anyone involved in the website creation process.

And then the last of our workshops has in fact already sold out: get in touch if you were keen to go to Earle Castledine’s jQuery workshop, as we are considering running it again in November.
