Next month, Nivan Creative Duel will bring together leaders across UX, AI, product development, and design for an evening of live debate on the questions shaping how we build. Bold Insight is proud to sponsor the event, continuing its partnership with Nivan after presenting at Nivan’s first conference this past May.

The evening features two duels with practitioners taking opposing positions. In Generalist vs. Specialist, Karen Semone, Founder of Team Uncanny, and Pavi Gupta, Founder of The Insight Exchange, will argue whether deep specialization still holds an advantage as AI takes on more of the execution. In Build Fast vs. Build Right, Eric Boggs of athenahealth and Denise Miqueli of Zumba will take on whether craft still matters now that AI can produce anything.

“These are the debates our industry needs to be having out loud,” said Pamela Stoffregen-Gay, Managing Partner at Bold Insight. “Whether you build fast or build right, generalist or specialist, the tension between these approaches is exactly what shapes better products. We’re glad to support a space where that conversation happens in the open.”

The event will include a seated dinner and drinks, giving attendees the chance to connect and continue the conversation. Attending Nivan Creative Duel? Say hello to Bold Insight team members and talk about the latest in AI and UX.

Nivan Creative Duel takes place September 24, from 5:30–8:30 pm at Avli on the Park in Chicago. Visit the event website to register.
