Potential attendees are particularly interested in tactical, practical information concering methods, prototyping techniques, documentation, mobile, physical computing, and information visualization. Conference organizers are interested in fields related to interaction design (for example, information architecture, visual and industrial design, coding), but only as they relate to interaction design.
