Meta Refresh 2018 will cover four primary topics:
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.
The 2018 edition is a multi-track event with the following session formats:
Deadline for submitting proposals: TBD
Conference date: 26-27 October, 2018
Meta Refresh will be held at the NIMHANS Convention Center, Bangalore

How do you do your best work? A lot of this conference is devoted to the matter of “craft” - of becoming a better designer, a better developer and so on. However, how do you do your best work when part of a larger team? Throwing more people at the problem is not always the solution; and design management has historically been worse than other types of management. Most business leaders aren’t designers, and many design leaders have risen due to their proficiency in the practice of their craft - not because of their managerial, emotional or operational skills.
This talk is an attempt to provide an answer to that question. What structures do you need? What new processes does one put in? How do you ensure that designers (designers are often hyper-sensitive to the imposition of structure and restraint) do not chafe against these? What organisational structures are right at different points in a company’s growth?

How do you ensure that designers (designers are often hyper-sensitive to the imposition of structure and restraint) do not chafe against these? What organisational structures are right at different points in a company’s growth?
To start with, I’ll outline 12 qualities of effective design organisations - broken into three areas:
The Foundations
Outputs
Management
Organisation Structures
We’ll then delve into a variety of organisational structures that make sense at different times in a company’s lifecycle:
Effective Design Team
Design Organisation Evolution
Depending on time/interest, I can also extend the talk to cover the following topics:
Be interested in scaling design teams within an organisation or in building a design culture.
Rahul has been designing websites and mobile applications since 2005. Graduating with a degree in Economics, he decided that that life was not for him, and after a number of years of freelance practice, brought together some of the most talented designers across the country to form uncommon.
Called “one of the faces of New India” by Forbes, he regularly speaks on design, user experience, design processes and typography. An increasingly large portion of his time is now spent helping uncommon’s household-name clients hire design leadership, build and scale design capabilities and insource business-critical design functions.
Uncommon has grown from a tiny design consultancy to a 20+ strong team, working with almost every Indian unicorn, with its work touching nearly every Indian with a smartphone. Uncommon continues to build products that address the Next Billion Users, first-time smartphone users, local-language audiences as well as new forms of non-screen interaction.
