Sessions

1. Think Global, Design Local: Building Great Experiences for the People Behind the Product Presented by DoorDash, Inc.

   Wed, Nov 4, 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM CT

   Track Product&Design

   Product thinking doesn’t live in the product org. It lives wherever someone decides what an experience should feel like — and that includes the teams most people never think to call “product.” The office you walk into. The policy that meets you on your hardest day at work. The app setting that finally makes a screen readable. In this session, leaders from Employee Relations, Workplace, and Data Science make the case that they’ve been shipping products all along. They’ll get specific about who their users really are, how they hear from the people whose needs are easiest to overlook, and what it takes to hold a global standard without flattening local reality — including how accessibility research led to Dark Mode on the DoorDash app, a quiet but meaningful win for low-vision users. Come for the panel. Leave with a lens you can use Monday morning.
