We did a content design audit sprint and you can, too
Content audits are great. Design sprints are great. Put 'em together and what have you got? A super-speedy way to scale your impact leveraging a swarm model, and show how badass content design can be.
At Target, Kelsey’s team tried their first-ever Content Design Audit Sprint, and it paid off. She’ll share how they structured each day of the 5-day sprint and their final report. You’ll also hear about the team’s follow-through steps that resulted in 90% of their recommendations being implemented … in a space that previously had zero content support.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- How to identify a space that’s ripe for a Content Design Audit Sprint
- Preparatory steps to take to make sure your sprint is a success
- How to make the best use of your time during the sprint, including how to incorporate research, benchmarking, and heuristics
- How the content design audit sprint can help you scale your team’s impact

We can’t be everywhere: How to introduce AI to your content design workflow
As content designers, we spend so much time answering the same style guide questions or handling microcopy asks. All of this takes away from meaningful high-level strategy work. AI tools can help you become more systems-focused so you can reduce content inconsistencies and maintain a cohesive voice, allowing you and your team to work more effectively.
But … with all the hype surrounding AI writing tools right now, it can be hard to know how to get started using them for your work. By taking a few steps up front (before diving in to experimentation), you can ensure your time is well-spent and feel confident about your decisions.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- How to define content design use cases for AI
- How to train your AI writing tool
- Challenges to look out for
Evaluating AI: Choosing the best tools for your content team
We’ve all been told that generative AI tools have the potential to improve our content and enhance productivity. What now? How do we sort through the hype around dozens of tools and make smart choices about which ones are most helpful to our team?
Gavin will share his team’s method for tool evaluation, as well as ways in which to present findings to leadership and across diverse teams. You’ll walk away with practical templates for evaluating and selecting the right AI tools for your unique needs.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- How to build a list of which AI tools to evaluate
- How to communicate specific outcomes from evaluating several AI tools
- Communication strategies to align AI skeptics and believers
