It’s OK, we’ve done this before...

What we mean is...




         metaphors are sexy

            as well as analogies and similes

                                   useful, thought-provoking, fun

You know how they work

digital
       technology


                        Digital technology is like magic. There’s your
                        David Copperfield sensationalism and there’s
                        street magic’s slight of hand...

experience
         design


                              Experience design is seduction. Be a tease, get
                              people to first base, learn the art of seductive
                              conversation...

                 games


                          Think of games as TV shows. There are series
                          (isolated snacks) and serials (where decisions
                          have consequences)...

Well, since 2010, metaphors
                        have had their very own event...

Each speaker has ten minutes
                 to change the way we look at
                 something via the chin-stroking
                 medium of metaphor.


                 it was a lot of fun last year...
