Talk #1: Designing for User Adoption

You have an product idea that you believe in. You've even conducted research, validating that it solves a real problem. But how do you know if your users will make the switch? In this presentation, I'll talk about a method that will help you understand the forces that could attract potential users towards your product, and the ones that could drive them away.
