The 35th ACM International Conference on the Design of Communication

The conference organizers invite industry and academic researchers to submit proposals that address topics including, but not limited to:

• Frameworks, approaches, methods, or theories designers can use to study and understand the contexts in which individuals use communication technology

• Ways in which different media create new contexts for communication and require new approaches to content and UX design

• Factors/variables that affect use (and ideas of usability and design) in different contexts of use

• Ways in which designers can use data, analytics, and metrics to drive more user-centered content and UX design processes

• Methods for teaching content and UX design

• Methods used to research the contexts in which individuals communicate, access, and use information

• Effects language and culture can have on approaches to UX design in international and intercultural contexts

• Approaches designers can use to connect content and UX design practices to local contexts/local communities

• Ways in which legal and ethical factors can affect content and UX design practices in different contexts

• Approaches designers can use for addressing issues of disability and accessibility in different contexts

• Approaches designers can use to apply research in different academic and industry contexts

• Partnerships and relationships designers can use to examine/research different contexts of use

• Approaches to cultivating productive, mutually beneficial partnerships between design experts working in industry and design experts working in academia
