2021 IxDD Virtual Event

Impekable has a long-standing relationship with Adobe as a featured XD agency. In 2021, for the fourth year in a row, Impekable designed and developed the website to promote and unite the global community of interaction designers for the annual World Interaction Design Day (IxDD). In partnership with the Interaction Design Association (IxDA), the goal was to welcome designers and industry thought leaders from around the world to host events and activities in support of the theme; Solidarity and Transformation. The aim is to promote a positive, long-lasting impact on the global design community by facilitating activities that support dialogue and outcomes. In previous years, in-person events were held in local communities, but in 2021 the second digital-first experience was created during the ongoing global pandemic. Participants were encouraged to contribute by hosting regional activities (i.e. events, workshops, presentations) either in-person for their local communities or live streaming with open access to all participants, uniting the global community.

Impekable applied the brand identity across the whole website and built interactive web pages. The Events webpage displayed live streams and community events that were available on September 28, listed by region and time zone. Attendees could view a display of the scheduled live streams from around the world based on their preferred time zone and visit individual registration pages for local events. Live streams were hosted through a variety of platforms outside of the website through Meetup, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Zoom, and more. Most events were recorded and are available on-demand via Vimeo. The IxDD was held on September 28, 2021, where attendees participated in nearly 100 live streams and over 20 community events.
