Highlights include:

• How do you use cognitive psychology to support your findings?
• What is a design ecosystem and why is it a helpful framing for our work?
• How have you used humour when engaging with stakeholders?
• What is the right balance between AI and human agency within design tools?
• How much does research impact rely upon how it's orchestrated?
