  Developers often faces design challanges and feels unconfortable solving them and/or are unsatisfied with the results. Whether it’s some internal admin panel for your system, implementing design from template page or creating your own project, sometimes you are left with design decisions whithout a designer around and you want to make best out of it. Gundars will go through most common design mistakes and how to fix them.

He began his path as an Art Director in multiple agencies and slowly moved to a more product-focused approach to design. Krišjānis joined Draugiem Group 8 years ago and worked on multiple projects that were only at the early stage of development at that time. Then, after 3 years, he became a part of the rapidly-growing Mapon team and worked on reforming the entire product design approach.

• Nikita Tihonovs from Intexsys will give a talk “UI/UX Benchmarking: a thorny path towards having trustworthy a/b test results”
  Nikita will share how a 800 million US company went from applying best practices and intuitive solutions to a fully data-driven UX approach, in particular – about A/B testing.  A/B testing has been around for 2 centuries, but is it really that simple? Is there a silver bullet like simply adding Google Optimize to your website? You will hear a story of 3 years stepping on every possible rake that has finally led us to having a complete and precise process. This keynote is a practical guide on how NOT to screw up when planning an a/b test, running it, and analyzing the results.

  Nikita is Principal Product Owner at Intexsys/Ecentria Solutions Riga, head of UI/UX and working with 2 development teams. He has more than 10 years of project management experience in IT, eCommerce and Forex.
