The Evolution of UX Careers: Looking to the Future
Featuring Cory Lebson
Our Puget Sound user experience meetup groups are gathering together for the annual Puget Sound UX Super Meetup taking place Tuesday, February 27 in Seattle. Join our fabulous panel of user experience luminaries for an evening of knowledge sharing, networking, and socializing.
This activity is included in the registration for all ConveyUX conference participants. Just show your badge. Make sure you visit the ConveyUX registration table on the 4th fl. first.
The event is open to everyone. You do not need to be registered for the conference. The Meetup ticket purchase info is below. This event is sponsored and subsidized by a collaboration of sponsors and your local UX organizations.
Over the past decades, UX has continued to gained prominence and has now become a top career choice with lots of opportunities for growth. Panelists will discuss what rounds out a user experience professional beyond our foundation skills. We’ll address supplemental skills and provide resources. The group will also talk about the best ways to network and gain visibility within the UX community as well as tips and techniques for personal UX branding? explain how their own UX careers have evolved over time and changes that they’ve seen through the years. They will then talk about where they think the profession is heading – what UX skills are likely to be most valuable going forward? What kind of UX learning both in academia and in other ways is likely to provide the best types of knowledge going forward? How is the changing technology landscape going to impact UX careers? Explore these topics with our expert panel including: Peter Morville • Pamela Pavliscak • Dan Brown • Geoff Harrison; moderated by Cory Lebson, author of The UX Careers Handbook.
With the ConveyUX Conference as a host for this meet-up, UX professionals from Puget Sound and visitors from outside the area can enjoy a unique opportunity to share their ideas and make new friends. This activity takes place at the Motif Seattle Hotel.
