#FUSEFactFriday returns!

Here at the Next Big Design blog, we're already looking forward to April when we will once again be heading to the FUSE conference. From now until April 18th, we're bringing back our popular feature from 2011: #FUSEFactFriday.

FUSE Fact Friday will highlight some of the key takeaways from the 2011 conference, including inspirational quotes, main themes and more. Each week, we'll dive in to our 2011 executive summary and remember some of our favorite presentations and moments from last year. Today's FFF Fact is:

What more important than branding, design, sustainability, technology, etc? The 'human'

A main theme in 2011 was the trend towards the human, be it in the personalization of mass produced goods, the continued prevalence of the analog, or the way we share our human experiences by connecting online or through brands. Look for more on this topic in upcoming weeks.
