                        As expertise becomes more accessible and technology empowers individuals, the need for genuine human connection is more important than ever. While technology enables us to achieve amazing things, we often sacrifice the human touch that is crucial to our success. In this talk, I’ll discuss how modern digital agencies can excel by prioritizing human relationships and fostering close connections with clients and team members.
                        Drawing from my 15 years of experience leading operations at Locomotive, I’ll offer practical tips on building deeper connections and developing a successful, human-centric agency.

Jean-François Chainé

As a multidisciplinary designer, I have had the privilege of immersing myself in both product design and the visual/brand design fields. The development of AI has been involved in different stages in these two fields. 
 In Product Design, AI primarily facilitates the development phase by bridging the gap between design concepts and final implementation (providing examples i.e. design tool translate design elements to code, Squarespace AI generate content for website publish readiness, etc.); in Visual Design, AI plays a pivotal role in the initial discovery phase. It empowers designers to draw inspiration from extensive datasets, and even iterates brainstorming ideas with visualization that virtually collaborated from global creative talents (providing examples i.e. my own creative process and the AI tools I use). 
 Whether enhancing the efficiency of product design or enriching the exploration of visual design, AI liberates designers from a purely production-oriented mindset. It transforms the creative process, enabling designers to channel their creativity towards inspiration and innovation.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, the role of web developers and designers has evolved. Is it still just about creating pages, designing brand books, or setting up design systems? Not anymore. As companies are tasked with doing more with less, your value goes beyond producing static web pages. You are now the architect of a website’s DNA—building a foundation that allows the brand to express itself consistently and adapt over time. 
 In this session, Sadek Drobi, CEO of Prismic, will share insights gained from working with hundreds of thousands of clients. He will explain how to create a publishing experience that empowers teams to scale their websites without losing brand coherence. He will then open a perspective to the imminent future where concepts like Slices, brand books and brand voice guides are going to enable GenAI for brands websites —just as DNA allows dynamic yet coherent expression in the natural world. Learn how to future-proof your website and ensure it continues to grow and evolve while staying true to its core identity.

What’s happening beyond AI? In an era marked by detoxing from dopamine, the loss of third spaces, information overload and polycrises, the need to build communities outside of screens is growing more than ever. 
 Will we craft these experiences to strengthen our connections with each other and our surroundings? Or will we persist in the habits we have established with screens? This talk reflects on how the increasing use of AI and other technologies is affecting our behaviours and what we, as designers, can do about it.
