Building on the success of our second ChitChat evening last year, Yu Centrik is repeating the festivities on Monday May 25th, at 5:30 pm.

Talk over a drink and watch a series of presentations on user experience – each one more interesting than the last!

The principle of the evening is simple:

  • Presenters take turns to present a theme (a concept, a method, an idea, a philosophy, a discovery, a new trend).
  • The phrase ‘ChitChat’ defines the evening:  presenters must demonstrate their concept in exactly 8 minutes, not a second longer.  The audience has 7 minutes to express reactions and interact with the presenter.
  • Music, videos, demonstrations… a highly interactive experience awaits you!

The actress Sylvie Potvin will be our moderator for the evening, and Montreal musicians from the indie scene will be happy to contribute to the relaxed atmosphere.

Presenters:

1. Joe Malloch and Mike Collicutt (CIRMMT, Schulich School of Music, McGill): “From Real to Virtual: A Comparison of Input Devices for Percussion Tasks.”

2. Marcio Leibovitch (Yu Centrik): “Asphyxiation by information overload”

3. Jay Vidyarthi (Yu Centrik): “The Potential for Technology to Expand Human Communication”

4. David Jacques (Customer Input): “Beyond Product: Service Design and Customer Experience”

    Date : Monday 25 May 2009
    Time: 17h30
    Venue: Ô Patro Vÿs located at 356 Mont-Royal East, one street to the west of St-Denis

    RSVP: Admission is free but book your place with Chrystel Black: cblack@yucentrik.ca

    Review of the ChitChat on May 27th, 2008

    Last night the second ChitChat Yu Centrik was held, and we can say without hesitation that the evening was a success!


    Over sixty people from all sides of the Information Technology community of Montreal gathered in the warm vibes of O Patro Vys to witness five unique presentations. The topics were well received with clear crowd reactions of surprise and laughter. Five eloquent presentations on HTML 5, Feng Shui interfaces, Web 2.0, usability experimentation in physics, and the phenomenology of interactions … subjects which are rich and complex, at the very least. However, since the presentation formula was so rigorous, we also got to see the anguish on our presenters faces while they grappled with the possibility that they might not get their idea out in time.
