Aaron Dudenhofer (or "The Dude" as we call him at work) is a guy of many talents. We've learned so much about the importance of UX while building Kickstart, and Aaron's the perfect guy to tell everyone about it. I recommend this session.
There was a lot of work that went into improving the admin UX for Kickstart 2.x, so the big benefit of this session is all the first-hand experience dudenhofer will bring to it while it's still quite fresh in his mind.
e-commerce in Drupal has always been a bit messy. I'm interested in learning more about Commerce Kickstart and how it can help.
Dudenhofer is one of the key guys behind the very popular "Shiny" module. Good UX is crucial. This will be a good one!
