Measuring Interaction in Digital Publications, Audience & Data Theatre, 28 February 4:20pm
Speaker: Rupert Knowles, Adobe Systems Incorporated
With the move to digital editions, publishers have not only unlocked truly unique content experiences but also accessed insights into how users interact with digital magazine content. Join an Adobe executive in a discussion on emerging trends and key metrics for digital publications, highlighting metrics publishers and advertisers should standardize on to be successful in this new medium.

Maximising Content with Minimum Resources, Production & Design Theatre, 29 February 10am
Speakers:  Alistair Dabbs,  Bento Media; Alistair Gillan, AQ2; Mick Taylor, Future Publishing

Digital Design, Digital Behaviour, Production and Design Theatre: 29 February, 2pm
Keynote panel:  Ross Burridge, Boto Media Ltd; Johannes Henseler, nordsueddesign
Our powerful panel debates the new design and useability imperatives for the digital world, where designers strike the balance between functionality and ‘look and feel’, and asks what role apps play in a web and print world. We go on to investigate  the transition between computer/laptop use and tablet use and how technology has changed how media is consumed. All depends how you define ‘design’ – and ‘media’, for that matter, of course…
