We’re already in a world where smartphones outnumber all the desktops and laptops put together. Wearables – smart watches and devices – now act as remote controls for notifications on our phones.
A sizeable portion of your existing user base could be accessing your website only through a handheld device. While it is quite likely that future web users will never experience your site on a large screen, we also have instances where users prefer to respond to notifications on their desktop. Desktop apps are not going away either.
Meta Refresh 2016 will focus on enhancing web experience on mobile, wearables and the desktop
You must be a practising web developer or designer, and must be able to show how your own work has advanced the state of the web in the past year. You are expected to present original work that your peers — this event’s audience — recognise as being notable enough to deserve a stage. If you are excited about someone’s work and believe it deserves wider recognition, we recommend you contact them and ask them to submit a proposal.
Every proposal MUST be accompanied by:
Without the above information, your proposal will not be considered for review.
If you are submitting a Workshop Proposal, you must clearly state:
There is only one speaker per session. Workshops can have more two or more instructors.
Entry is free for confirmed speakers.
If you are an outstation speaker, HasGeek will do its best to provide a grant that covers part of your travel and accommodation expenses in Bangalore, subject to budgetary constraints. Grants are made available only to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer) and workshops.
HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.
The 2016 edition is a single-day, single-track conference on 17 September. We invite proposals for:
Deadline for submitting proposals: 29 August 2015
Conference date: 17 September
Meta Refresh will be held at the MLR Convention Centre, J P Nagar, Bangalore.

Instamojo started out as a web-first platform to enable people sell online in the fastest and the easiest way possible. Even today it remains the easiest way to start selling anything (well, almost anything) online.
Redesigning the seller dashboard experience with a mobile-first approach helped us increase the reach of the platform to new and different niches of users, opening up new market possibilities. It helped us make our product more accessible to people without computers, it forced us to rewrite the product in a way that works well even on sketchy mobile Internet connections - leading to a better overall product reliability.
Through this talk, I want to share with you the Why and How of the redesign and then corroborate with numbers and data the efficacy of the whole project.
####Why mobile-first -
Yes, it is a no-brainer these days to think mobile-first about digital products but it’s prudent to stay mindful of the userbase that you’re designing for.
####Then comes the How -
####Story of the numbers & data -
####To show how this redesign helped Instamojo create features even faster moving forward -
A notebook to take notes
I have worked with industrial interfaces to begin my design career. I created websites and iOS apps as a hobby and moved to full time digital product design from then on. I worked at Instamojo undertook their platform redesign from the ground up including the seller dashboard experience and peripheral products like the Instapay.
Post Instamojo, I’ve begun working as an independent contract product designer & consultant. I’ve worked with a couple of big design teams working on mass-market products. I’ve also endeavored (with help of my friend Rahul) to create a design community Slack group to stay connected, to bounce off ideas, concepts and designs for feedback.
Other than this, I’m an electrical engineer by education and I did my MSc from TU Delft in the Netherlands. I’m @hvpandya on Twitter.
