Working with our partners at 500 Startups, we're producing the Warm Gun Conference. This conference explores the challenges and lessons learned by the top designers in the startup world.

The 2014 Warm Gun Conference will be Thursday, December 4 at the SF Union Square Hilton.

This has been one of the most fun projects I’ve ever worked on. With Karen McGrane, we’ve put together a new type of UX Conference that focuses on strategy. It’s got a new format (all interviews - no powerpoints!) and a killer line up. We’re diving right into how today’s top companies are making UX their competitive advantage. Senior execs from Paypal, Capital One, MasterCard, GE, Fidelity, and many more will each tell their stories of how they’re overcoming huge obstacles.
