I attended a UX conference workshop that was really helpful in doing this. The session attendees are grouped and asked to build an application (all the same application). They're given paper, pens, etc - material for paper prototyping/drawing. The groups are given 5 minutes (or some other amount) to put together an iteration of the interface. At the end, there is user testing done via the paper prototype (someone from the another group acts as "user", or facilitator(s) do, but must be someone from outside the group). Then another 5 minute iteration to incorporate the feedback. Then more testing ... etc. That's a brief explanation, and I'm not sure if this kind of activity fits into Flock-style sessions/rooms. The real value here is everyone gets to see how helpful it is to actually test their ideas _while designing the solution_. Usability testing is good, but best when incorporated into the building process. I'm looking at the Flock dates to see if I can try to attend. Would love to help put the idea together and perhaps facilitate if I can attend. Thoughts?
