At two upcoming events in San Francisco and in Calgary I’ll be sharing the benefits and the how-to basics of sketchboards:

• First, at UXWeek in August I’ll be conducting what’s likely to be a crazy high-energy workshop with the smart and vibrant Leah Buley where we guide everyone in producing Better Design Faster. UXWeek should be more awesome than ever, with fundamentals, play, service design, media design and a freakin’ incredible list of speakers. And, you can get 15% off with the discount code FOBS.
• Then in Calgary in November I’ll be unlocking all of the sketchboard secrets at nForm’s CanUX 2008 conference. This is also looking like a great event, as I’ll be able to learn from Dave Gray of XPlane (I’m a big fan of his flickr photostream) and Luke W., whose forms book I’ve been following religiously.

But still my very favorite thing to host is the Design Strategy day of the UX Intensive workshops, which will be in Copenhagen in October. I keep on finding more interesting methods and tools to share and pack into this very hands-on day. The gist: I want to demystify strategy for UX designers and provide some lightweight tools that are meaty enough to help their work be successful without being so involving that they have to request special time/resources to do it. Here too, you can get 15% off with the discount code FOBS.

Drop me a line if you think you’ll be at any of these too!
