How do the best startups in the world go from an idea to an app? Speaking from his experience as CEO of Monsoon, Sandeep Sood will share the latest and greatest in app strategy, design, and development. Instead of talking about theories and ideas, Sandeep will share actual case studies, based on projects that he and his team have worked on. The first case study will cover strategy. Is there an 'agile' approach to strategy? Does "agile" actually exist? Why do seemingly chaotic processes often lead to breakthrough ideas? What do product managers do? How do CEOs, product managers, and designers generally differ in their approaches? Sandeep will then move into a case study that shows how the design process works. What are the best ways to turn ideas into pictures? Is the difference between things like UI, UX, UE, etc. meaningful? What does a "design-oriented approach" actually mean? The third case study will cover development. Here, Sandeep will talk about why developers must be designers. A case will be made for development as testing and testing as development. Incorporating discussion on development costs and budgeting, this case study explores what it means for a project to be finished and how to know when you are done. Finally, a fourth case study goes into the new age of marketing and how to build your team or company. It covers when to begin marketing, and how to build and enhance viral loops. The key to success is to view design, marketing, and development as the same task - how do the best of the best accomplish this?
Takeaway
Attendees will learn the latest thinking, best practices, and interesting hacks for the creation of mobile products. Attendees will be presented with real world examples of applications that demonstrate how leading entrepreneurs, designers and developers approach the process of app creation.

Our devices become more capable every year, with ever increasing performance, and higher resolution screens. This constant march forward enables designers and developers to paint increasingly detailed depictions of physical objects and interactions. As hardware has moved from monochrome, through color, and on to retina-level displays we've tried to one-up each other with ever more detail. Now that we can do so much, what do we do next? How do we design experiences in a world not limited by the physical? How do we move beyond static representations of objects from our past? Designing apps with wireframes and photo editing software isn't enough anymore, to answer these questions we need new tools. In this session, Martin Pedrick will share how new open source tools under construction at Square will help designers and developers make the most out of the new world of hardware capability.
Takeaway
Attendees will explore the design challenges and opportunities presented by constantly evolving hardware capacities and capabilities. They will understand why our simulations, as they more accurately model the real world, sometimes lose their appeal. Most of what app designers are building in this new world of hardware capability has no physical manifestation. Attendees will see how our existing design tools, which were not built for this new world, fall short of its demands, and will be presented with new tools.

The proliferation of sensors baked into mobile devices and emerging wearable platforms presents an explosion of data sources that can help us track and improve everything from our workouts, to our daily activity, to our stress and emotions. But deriving meaning, motivation, and action from this new data requires a careful balance of elements like user experience design, sensor technology selection, and a well-considered device ecosystem. In this session, Sequence CEO Jojo Roy will provide an overview of new and notable sensor-driven experiences, as well as the challenges associated with developing these types of devices and apps. Many of his observations will be grounded in Sequence's experiences incubating Senstream, a novel platform that combines sensors, apps, and the cloud to enable people to measure and manage their emotions and stress levels.
Takeaway
While intense market pressures force companies large and small to rush their sensor-driven devices and apps to launch, it's critical to get the details right. Hardware and software design, measurement accuracy, device durability, data storage, and privacy are some of the more important factors any player in the space must understand to succeed.

Companies are building increasingly sophisticated smartphone applications for platforms such as the Apple iPhone and Google Android. Many of these applications are constructed without fully considering the associated security implications of their deployment. Breaches can impact both app users as well as those distributing the application as attackers take advantage of expanded access to sensitive data and network services. In this talk Denim Group CTO, Dan Cornell, will discuss emerging threats associated with deploying smartphone apps. He will begin by looking at a threat model for a typical mobile application and then walking through an analysis of an example application from an attacker's perspective. He will show how to extract information from mobile applications and use that information to launch attacks against app users and app distribution companies.
Takeaway
Attendees of this talk will learn how attackers extract sensitive information from mobile apps, as well as how mobile applications and their supporting web services expose app developers and users to potential attacks. Attendees will discover proactive design and testing techniques that can help make mobile applications safer.

Understanding who your user is, is only half the battle; you need to know how they will be using it, where they are and what they want at that moment in time. Screen size isn't the only thing that is different about mobile experience. Are they walking through the aisle of your store, comparing the price with an online retailer? Learn from Joe Johnston, Director of UX and R & D for Universal Mind, how contextual design can help enhance your experience. Find out how other companies are beginning to explore these kinds of interactions.
Takeaway
What contextual design is and why it's important, factors to consider to take advantage of it, a look at what contextual design will bring in the future, how "contextual clues" contribute to designing for context and how companies are already utilizing this kind of design.

Storytelling is the heartbeat of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts experiences. Since the earliest days of Disneyland, innovative technology and new media platforms have served to enrich and expand the shared experiences of Disney guests, adding both new aspects of interactivity and immersion. With the growth of new technology platforms, the integration between the electronic and physical worlds has never been closer, or more entertaining. We will discuss how the Disney Imagineers create theme parks, and how they use story to inform every creative decision in order to make guests feel like the protagonist in our vivid fantasy worlds. This lecture focuses on how the lessons of theme park design can inform game design in the virtual world. Just as in video games, Imagineers deal with issues of artistic design, architectural storytelling, interactive narrative, massively multiplayer gameplay, adapting classic characters to the interactive world and community building. To illustrate these concepts, we will use these pioneering interactive attractions as examples: Agent P's World Showcase Adventure ? A theme park adventure game in which guests use mobile devices to solve mysteries and trigger secret-agent-style physical installations at Epcot; Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom ? A trading-card based role-playing game where players unlock mystic portals hidden all around the Magic Kingdom Park to reveal Disney villains, and once revealed, the players use their "spell cards" to defeat the villains in a magical duel; A Pirate's Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas ? A location-based Pirate game where guests interact directly with the theme park environment; The Menehune Adventure Trail at the Aulani - A Disney Resort and Spa, in which guests use magic to bring the stories of Hawaii to life.
Takeaway
What rules from traditional video game design still apply for games in the real world? What are the challenges of gaming in physical spaces? What are the enabling technologies available to the game designer of location-based experiences? Story and technology in immersive gaming: How does one affect the other?
