Happy World Product Day! [WPD]

Anyone else really missing the social aspect of design conferences?

Maybe it could be the free food or booze that’s missing…

Webinars are definitely lacking the social aspect of actual “meet ups”. Virtual technology lacks the real world environment.

I found I was obsessed with clicking “Going”. I started to become anxious over all the upcoming notifications and trying to keep up with my subscribed emails. It soon became more of a chore than anything. My way to recharge and detox was to not look at social media for a weekend.

I’ve compiled a list of the webinars I have attended (updating as I go- as long as this shitshow lasts) over the course of lockdown that I personally recommend. I have found most of these online events predominately through LinkedIn connections.

  1. User Research & Strategy (UXRS): Changing Face of Ethical Design: Why Responsible Intent Matters

Speakers: Andy Vitale etc.

Honestly, I would hire Andy to speak at any conference, he seems so experienced in his field, even if his background is a collection of shoe boxes!

2. LadiesthatUX Dublin by LadiesthatUX- Meetup Event

Mentee and Mentorship programme for Junior UX Designers. Finding new ways to boost your career.
