SXSW 2025

Fostering Equitable and Inclusive PD through play

Description:

Did you know play makes life better? What if I told you a playful mindset could foster an equitable and inclusive working environment, leading to more inclusive product development, which translates into better products and higher revenue?

Drawing from 20+ years of experience in interactive products, games, and toys, Carlos will engage participants in a hands-on game. Through play, they will discover how a simple game can transform how we engage people, drive innovation, and foster a culture of empathy and creativity.
