Special Guest Speaker: Patrick Hofmann

Patrick Hofmann is a man of few words. In fact, he's an expert at creating better technical documentation using fewer words and more pictures. As a trained technical writer and now a visual interaction designer, Patrick has spent the last thirteen years helping clients like Sky, Nokia, Motorola, Philips, FedEx, HP, BASF, and AGFA improve the usability of their products--often by visualising their online, hardcopy, and interface information.

His award-winning work and undying passion for visual language have sent him around the world, as he teaches companies how to use pictures to improve communication. Patrick is a popular and entertaining speaker, as anyone who heard him at the STC Regional Conference in London in October 2006 can testify. And this summer Patrick is back in the UK and will be our special guest at our "Communicating Visually" weekend on 23rd-24th June in Cambridge. On Saturday 23rd June he will be speaking on "Pictures and profits: the return-on-investment of visual information design and usability testing", and on Sunday 24th June Patrick will be leading an in-depth intensive seminar on "Intuitive Images".
