You Are Not the Target – <\/b>Thursday, July 18 at 11:15 a.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Content Strategy as a Methodology –<\/b> Friday, July 19 at 9:10 a.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rachel Loving, the Content Design Director at Publicis Sapient, looks at the expanding scope of responsibilities for Content Strategists (seen in the rise of jobs like Content Designer, UX Writer, and more), and asks if approaching content strategy as a methodology could unify this mix of content-related practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Strategic Writing for UX – <\/b>Friday, July 19 at 10:55 a.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Torrey Podmajersky, a UX Writer at Google, explores how UX writing is different from other forms of content, where it fits in, how to measure its impact, and where UX writers fit in the design and development process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Designing Safe Platforms for Marginalized Users – <\/b>Friday, July 19 at 2:15 a.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morgan Bromell, the founder of Thurst (a dating app for the LGBTQIA+ community), explores\u00a0<\/span>the process of determining what is \u201csafe\u201d and what security means as you develop the structure of a platform, app, product, or service that has marginalized users.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
