The first fourteen speakers for Plenar 27
Two keynotes, a panel on who owns the design system and a talk about the words nobody reads.
Words by The Plenar team
We read 612 proposals this year, more than twice as many as last. Choosing was hard, and we're grateful to everyone who sent one. Today we're announcing the first fourteen speakers; the lightning talks follow in May.
Two keynotes, two days
Inês Calado opens the first day with The interface is the product, on what changed at Fieldnote when designers started shipping and engineers started sketching. Amara Okafor opens the second with Systems are made of people, about a design system shared by forty teams.
“We wanted a programme you could take back to work on Monday morning.”
Something for every track
- Interface: Freya Lund on product copy, Kwame Mensah on accessible components.
- Systems: Mateo Ruiz on tokens that survive a rebrand, Darius Shah on docs.
- Motion: Hana Sato on easing, Léa Marchand and Noor Haddad on scroll and sensitivity.
- Platform: Tomás Reyes, Jonas Wirth, Elias Brandt and Priya Raman on what the browser can do now.
