"Top Ten Mistakes UX People Make"
Jan. 26, 6:30-8:30 PM, Mercer Island Community and Event Center
We count ourselves extremely lucky to have Scott Berkun, celebrated author and speaker, to be our January speaker and kick off 2012 in grand style.
Description
UX professionals worry about the wrong things: methods and techniques, despite how little of our impact hinges on extending our already well developed expertise. The reasons we fail are often so simple, or work so against our vision of the world, that we work in denial of them, never understanding why we seem to be stuck in the same place again and again. This fun, entertaining and interactive talk will share a fresh, entertaining, yet tough perspective on why we succeed or fail, and what we can do differently to make the changes we want to happen, to happen now.
Event is free! Registration required. If you want to unregister, or be wait-listed (if registration is full), please contact Nikki Chau via email, dragonc@gmail.com, or send a tweet to @dragonc
