Unn Swanström

Unn Swanström

Sweden's UX Unicorn

How do you optimize Minecraft? A game that is already loved by 141 million active users every month? Great question, Unn Swanström would love to tell you! She’s a Senior UX Designer at Mojang Studios and works in the Player Onboarding team. Her mission is to help beginners find what’s fun about Minecraft faster.

Does her name sound familiar? Maybe because she has hosted Women in Tech (five times!), Nordic.js (four times!), Brilliant Minds, and the Polhem Award. You might have seen her on the 2016 Conversion Jam stage in Stockholm. Unn also has a YouTube channel where she teaches design and prototyping in a fun and friendly way. Oh, did we mention that she once won the IT Woman of the Year award? Yeah, that happened.

Karl Gillis

The one and only UX Comedian

Listen to your users! (And stop doing stupid things) Karl has been optimizing online businesses for over 20 years. Teaching people about UX, user research and conversion optimization. But he’s also getting frustrated: because marketers, designers and developers are making the same mistakes over and over again. Most websites have the same flaws as 20 years ago, despite all the knowledge we have about UX. Karl will vent his frustrations.

But luckily, he will also share some really hands-on tips and examples how to improve your business by listening to your users. So you can turn more visitors into customers. According to PPC Hero, Karl is the number 3 most influential conversion expert in the world. He has no idea how he ended up there. But it sounds cool, doesn’t it? 🙂

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of User Research (aka How User research is Like Mushrooms)
Everybody loves data. And rightfully so. The right data helps you make better decisions.

But the wrong data? Well, that’s a totally different story… Poorly designed or executed user research produces wrong data. And consequently leads to bad decisions.

In this session, Els highlights the most important pitfalls to be aware of when doing user research.

Els is an advocate for qualitative user research and loves helping companies to understand their customers better. Because customer happiness is the key to success.

Why vote for Els?

Don’t be fooled by her grandma looks and kind demeanor. Sure, she’ll give you that cosy feeling of nanna holding your hand, kindly showing you how you f*d up your UX research and how to fix it. But she is smart as hell. And takes no prisoners.
