Conference Opening
10:30 – 11:15 Kyiv Time
We Are No Longer Just an Interface
Валерія Пінтійська — CEO clippy team, CMO unied
We Are No Longer Just an Interface — designers go beyond “beautiful/convenient” and operate at the level of strategy, culture, and product policy: shaping positioning, business metrics, decision-making processes, and ethical guidelines. The focus is on impact, not artifacts: from screen design to system and outcome design.
11:15 - 12:00 Kyiv Time
Coffee Break
12:00 - 12:15 Kyiv Time
Designer as a system: a new language of creation
Валерія Пінтійська — CEO clippy team, CMO unied
Дизайнер як система: нова мова творення — мислення системами замість пікселів: дизайн-токени, інформаційна архітектура, модульність, правила та метрики продукту. Ви вибудовуєте логіку, як продакт: від гіпотези — до масштабованої платформи.
12:15 - 13:00 Kyiv Time
Lunch
13:00 - 14:00 Kyiv Time
Design after us: what if AI is more creative?
Валерія Пінтійська — CEO clippy team, CMO unied
Practical cases of co-creation with AI: authorship and ethics, opposition or curation, quality review. AI as a mirror of our taste: how to maintain style, guide models, and turn a chaotic array of options into strong solutions.
14:00 - 14:45 Kyiv Time
Tools that think for us
Валерія Пінтійська — CEO clippy team, CMO unied
No-code/AI змінюють роль дизайнера з “виконавця” на оркестратора процесів. Промпт-дизайн, автогенерація, контроль упереджень і QA як нові компетенції; швидке R&D без жертв якості.
14:45 - 15:30 Kyiv Time
Design without screens: what comes after the touch interface?
Валерія Пінтійська — CEO clippy team, CMO unied
Voice, spatial, neurointerfaces, UX for Vision Pro, AR, and AI agents. The designer’s role shifts toward storytelling, research, and experience engineering; principles of multimodal UX and evaluating interaction quality.
15:30 - 16:15 Kyiv Time
Panel discussion: technologies and the future of design
Валерія Пінтійська — CEO clippy team, CMO unied
Experts will analyze how AI agents, no-code tools, multimodal UX (voice, spatial, neurointerfaces), and “design without screens” are transforming the designer’s role from executor to system orchestrator of the product. The discussion will cover authorship and ethics, new quality metrics, resilient approaches (offline-first, security, inclusivity) in unstable conditions, as well as practical tech stack solutions and 2025–2026 processes that directly impact business outcomes.

Валерія Пінтійська — CEO clippy team, CMO unied
