Keynote:  BJ Fogg
Stanford University awarded Dr. BJ Fogg the Maccoby Prize in 1998 for
four years of experimental research on how computers can change
people's attitudes and behaviors. He then founded the Stanford
Persuasive Technology Lab and began teaching at Stanford (Computer
Science & School of Education) on his area of expertise. In addition
to teaching and directing research on campus, Dr. Fogg leads
innovation projects for Silicon Valley companies.
Dr. Fogg is the author of Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to
Change What We Think and Do, a book that explains how computers can
motivate and influence people. He is the co-editor of Mobile
Persuasion: 20 Perspectives on the Future of Behavior Change.
Dr. Fogg's life's work is to shape technology innovation in ways that
benefit the world and make people happier. He believes two principles
are essential for achieving these goals: designing for simplicity and
building relationships of trust. For each principle he has created
practical frameworks that help designers create better products.
Dr. Fogg's Online Northwest keynote speech will address the topic of
online video as a persuasive technology. www.bjfogg.com
