Airbnb added to schedule of meetings on FIPP and VDZ tour

With User Experience a top priority for businesses like Airbnb, we will meet with Madeline Moore, Experience Designer, at Airbnb’s HQ in San Francisco. The relevance here is that UX-thinking extends not only to the website, but also other areas where the company has, or can establish, touch points with its consumers and prospective consumers. This includes Airbnb’s magazine, recently launched in collaboration with Hearst – a reverse digital-to-print model that is becoming something of a trend among digital companies. 

In this meeting you will find out more about how Airbnb thinks about UX – online, offline and in print, and, crucially, how they think about the value each touch point brings.

To find out more about Tour arrangements, cost and/or how to register, get in touch with Jennifer Panse (j.panse@vdz-akademie.de) who will gladly help out.
