About WUDRome2021

WUDRome – World Usability Day Rome, organised by NOIS3 – Experience Design Agency, is an event that every year brings together in Rome design professionals from around the world, with the mission of spreading usability practices and human-centered design principles.

Design of our Online World: Trust, Ethics and Integrity

In our theme this year, we seek to explore online products and design systems that are helping us to stay connected, learn and grow in these transformational times. Through this theme, we also aim to address important issues such as Dark patterns and Ethical design, Designing for Trust, and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Conference on November 10-11-12

In 2020 due to the COVID-19 emergency, the conference became a virtual event. This year we decided to go hybrid thanks to some of our Sponsors opening their offices to host the live streaming of #WUDRome. That means that some of you can attend in person and meet up with some attendees and the teams of Microsoft Italia (@Rome, @Milan and @Molfetta), Caffeina (@Parma) and Sketchin (@Manno, Swiss).

Workshops on Friday, November 12

Also this year, we will have amazing workshops on Friday, November 12.

All workshop tickets include also the 3-day conference ticket for WUDRome2021.

Building a more ethical future using Speculative Design by Stefan Manastirliu

Ethical decision-making is hard. Business interests often lead the conversation, prioritizing financial gains in the short term, sometimes at the expense of more ethical choices for both the end-user, the society and the planet. Yet, we can leverage the Speculative Design approach to sufficiently stretch the horizon e work on a medium-long timeframe to make more balanced, and ultimately better decisions.
