Keynote: The Secret UX of Technology Adoption: Why the best technology isn't always embraced and how we can change that

In this keynote, Slava will delve into the puzzling phenomenon of why new products sometimes fail to gain widespread adoption despite their technological advantages. We will inspect compelling case studies of both past and present technologies, challenging the common assumption that superior products are always destined for success. By examining the underlying research on the social dynamics of new technologies, we will shed light on the barriers hindering their adoption and discuss actionable strategies to overcome these obstacles. Together, we will uncover valuable insights on how to address these challenges and pave the way for successful product adoption.
