Our very excited MD, Stephen Minning, is currently in New York for the SEGD 2014 Xlab Digital Conference, on Thursday, November 6, 2014. Call it digital marketing, digital storytelling, or immersive experiences. No matter the terminology you use to describe it, digital technology is dramatically changing the way people interact with public spaces and each other—and it’s driving how brands, institutions, and designers shape customer experience.

Some of this years questions and discussions are – What are the latest technologies that you should consider incorporating into the stories, media, and places you design? Why should you care about how sensors are leading users to more intelligent interfaces? What are iBeacons? How can you create interactions that are more responsive to human behavior, tell engaging stories, and create memories?
