@nanowatts Thanks! We also think it’s really good for people to read as many COCs as they can, take notes, and then write their own like we did. Bigger orgs should def get a lawyer involved too, but there’s something super important about the words coming *directly* from the organizer.
Today would’ve been the first day of the 6th annual @layersconf. It would’ve been a joyful festival of snacks, new ideas, sunshine, old friends, and unexpected connections.
Much more important things are happening now, but we’ll be back some day.
❤️✊🏻🧡✊🏼💛✊🏽💚✊🏾💙✊🏿💜
@xoxo@neonmoire@foobartel@elementtalks We take snacks (and diversity of snacks) very seriously! Aside from the obvious function of providing humans with nourishment, food is a tasty symbol of culture and community.
Layers Trivia™️
We cross reference each bathroom product for reviews on Sephora, R29, Strategist, GQ, etc. Then we compile in Keynote and design a set based on product variety, aesthetic, color, and size.
The fact is we are biological organisms, and on a hot day around a lot of people, you never know what sort of thing might happen. It may seem frivolous on the surface, but it’s a profound way of being considerate. I mean what an amazing spread
We’re past the era of conferences being about content you could watch on video instead. Which means the experience of the IRL humans must be well-designed.
Let’s give @layersconf design conference credit where credit is due for walking the walk and forging new ground

Missed out on getting a ticket to Layers Conf?
I’ve got 3 tickets! DM me if you’re interested in locking those in.
(I’m a big fan and attended in the past, but will be unavailable this time around)
Designers and teachers have A LOT in common. Curious? Come hear our talk @layersconf next week where we'll share what we've learned while designing @khanacademy! https://t.co/GnT75MSuQ3
A designer and paper engineer, @kellianderson is an artist whose work operates in the space between conceptual art, graphic design, and tech. She's a wonderful person who makes simple things feel like pure magic, and we can't wait for Kelli to speak at Layers!
We think Disney Imagineering produces some of the best experiences in the world, so who better to speak to a bunch of UI/UX designers than a former Imagineer? Thrilled to have Amber Samdahl at Layers this year, talking about how to incorporate play into the design process.
