Helen Keegan A retail and marcomms professional with over 20 years experience, Helen has specialised in mobile for more than 10 years and was at the birth of mobile marketing in 2000 as Head of Customer Experience at ZagMe, the location based mobile marketing pioneer.  Today, Helen is a specialist consultant in mobile marketing, advertising and media working on a wide variety of projects including developing mobile strategies, analysing trends, creating products and services, and implementing initiatives for a wide variety of clients including Vodafone, A-Pressen and Egmont.

She runs the popular mobile networking event, Swedish Beers  in London, San Francisco and Barcelona. You’ll also see Helen on the speaker circuit, has a regular column in Mobile Marketing Magazine and when she has time, she blogs about mobile marketing and media and tweets regularly too.

FJ van Wingerde Asking FJ for his professional description elicits a laugh. “I have gone through most every title assigned to people who make user interfaces, from UI Engineer to UX Designer to Information Architect, and some completely unrecognizable ones. Sometimes ‘Senior’ or ‘Mobile’ was tacked on in front. It’s always the same problem to solve, though: managing attention and expectations in the space you have. I’ve just settled on Specialist in UX.”

A veteran of Harvard, Nokia, and Disney in the USA, FJ quickly gained notoriety in the London UX community for both his candor, and willingness to take on the stranger jobs. He is currently working for LBi heading up their UX, consults for stealth and public start-ups through his AskTheUXer effort, and bakes French pastry on Sundays. He can’t be with us in Barcelona this year, but happily supports the Fringe Festival with work on this website.

Clickslide ClickSlide’s fresh approach is to automate the process of adding GUI (Graphic User Interface) components to the growing number of APIs or Datasets being made available to developers today. In the current iteration, anyone with an Auth API service can integrate their services into the ClickSlide platform with little effort, using a simple XML formatted language. ClickSlide will be a Graphic Interface for all API services and, with a point-and-click editor, software created on ClickSlide can easily be updated for new services as they are added.
