Design, surf, Alpha. June 23-27, Alfa Battle Camp in Sochi – registration is open
Hey!
We arrange international Alfa Battle Camp – a championship in which we will look for the best ideas for digital banking products. Especially for designers and researchers.
We have 6 main directions for which we are looking for ideas:
Daily Banking (everyday purchases and payments)
Family finance in digital
Investments and savings (slow money)
Phygital office
Own business (individual entrepreneurs, self-employed)
Beyond banking (ideas for new services)
We will invite the authors of the 100 best ideas to a 5-day online challenge, which will be led by leading product designers and UX researchers. 50 participants will go to the camp in Sochi to defend the final decisions. In 5 days you can go from testing your idea to creating an interactive prototype and UX testing under the guidance of experts from Alfa-Bank, SkillBox, Creative People, UsabilityLab and other companies.
Also at the camp:
we will tell you how we make our digital products
we will help you improve your own skills in this area
