The old adage of Build It And They Will Come simply doesn’t work with many Future Users. Sustained engagement demands not only an innovative product but a shake-up in the way we traditionally go about identifying relevance and creating useful solutions, typically using widespread or mundane technology that’s just applied to cool effect. 4iP have already established a strong pedigree of encouraging forward-thinking and inventive ways to reach out to millions of people who would otherwise happily let the digital revolution pass them by.
Unsheffield USE Stimulus: Call For Submissions
Unsheffield kicks off with an injection of ideas on the evening of Fri 19 Jun at 7:00pm. We’re inviting participants to offer lightning talks exploring all dimensions of the Future Users of Cool Technology theme. We’ll pull these together in an intense back-to-back stream of topics that will challenge our perceptions of technology, where it fits in our lives and how we go about producing and consuming it. This session is called USE Stimulus and will spark the ideas that shape the agenda of Unsheffield. The deadline for submissions is Sunday 14 June 2009.
University of Sheffield Enterprise
The Stimulus night that kicks off Unsheffield will serve up a smorgasbord of ideas that point the way forward for makers and users of technology, and we’re delighted that the University of Sheffield Enterprise have joined Unsheffield as event partner to help make this happen. Social enterprise and pragmatic innovation feature significantly in the Unsheffield programme, and combining technology and social research from academic circles with industry generates great opportunities to produce progressive solutions that provide real life-changing value to people.
CIDA & ECCE Innovation Project
Independent creative innovation catalysts CIDA are the first official sponsors of Unsheffield. They are instrumental in delivering the ECCE Innovation Project, an initiative which stimulates the digital and creative industries in a dozen selected cities around Europe.
