🧩 For designers of hidden, high-stakes parts of products
🎤 4 sessions by speakers from large/complex enterprises
🗣️ Real stories of design for safety, debuggability, and long-term evolution
Story
Every product has two faces: the polished UI that makes the marketing screenshot, and the other interface that actually runs the show — the settings, pipelines, permissions, admin and internal tools that translate org policy into real consequences.
“The Other Interface” is an evening in Bangalore for designers of these hidden, high-stakes surfaces to share real stories of how you design for safety, debuggability, and long-term evolution.
