Ironically as Henry Ford almost definitely did not say: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” – we try and put the user back into the experience. Learn from industry leaders about their experiences and how to deal with them. We'll dip into the UX tombola to pick out a random hot topic to discuss, poke and prod. Saddle up and join us for the wild ride of humour, experience and sound-proofing cushions that is Faster Horses. *may contain nuts and the odd bit of swearing – sorry (not sorry!).
