Since 2012, this year has been the eighth year of UCAN.From the initial Alibaba internal sharing meeting to the conference for industry designers, from Alibaba Park to this year's Hangzhou International Expo Center, the stage of UCAN has become larger and larger.Every year, more and more new friends join in, listening to speeches, visiting exhibitions, or enjoying the annual good time together.
When planning UCAN 2019, we have been thinking about what UCAN really means to designers?A full style and dry goods sharing meeting?A design carnival that can temporarily put aside demands and play happily?Or, an offline space for meeting and talking with designers from the same industry and even the world?
These, yes, but not all.
In the new year, we hope to explore the boundaries that design can reach and discover the possibility of integration of business and design with you through UCAN.
Alibaba UCAN 2019 Design Conference Theme: make business beautiful and simple Time: April 27-28, 2019 Location: Hangzhou International Expo Center
What is UCAN?
UCAN Design Conference is a global professional forum hosted by Alibaba Design, which aims to build the most influential communication platform in the design industry and enable design achievements to enable new businesses.
In the era of integration of online and offline, virtual and real, user experience design is no longer limited to the Internet industry, and begins to cut into more diversified consumption and service scenarios.In creative design, industrial design, space design, service design and many other fields, there is still room for design to reshape and upgrade, which is also what UCAN strives to promote, so that designers can show more powerful commercial influence.
The theme of this year's UCAN is "making business beautiful and simple", and the element "water" is selected as the brand keynote: design, such as "water", is a soft force, but there is also unlimited possibility of change.
The new UCAN will bring more influential celebrities: Kobayashi Zhang, a famous Japanese font designer in western languages, Aoyama Zhou Ping, an architectural designer widely known to Chinese in recent years, Tim Kobe, the founder and CEO of Eight Inc., and Matsushima Jinglang, the initiator of the famous Japanese public welfare activity "Temple Snack Club", are among them.
The new UCAN will launch more than 70 specially invited sharing sessions with different themes around different experience scenes.Starting from the nine dimensions of digital industry, inclusive finance, space experience, and smart technology, front-line designers from more than 40 design teams of Alibaba Group will take turns to fight and share their accumulated practical experience in many new fields.It enables you to perceive the current design concept in a panoramic way and think about the future design trend.Here, you will meet your new self.
