Expert panels to help you and your team tackle the pressing questions facing user experience researchers.
Although the event has come and gone, you can easily watch recordings of the sessions, featuring topics like: data-driven storytelling, generative-AI, career development, the business value of UX, and scaling research with ops.
A spring cleaning for your human-centered insights practice.
We’re back with our second year of YouX, a research and insights event all about you, whether you’re in research, product, design or ops. This year we’re focused on sharing fresh, growth-minded perspectives on the most important topics in the industry.
So whether you need inspiration to justify more budget, practical advice to make the most of AI, or simply want a safe space to ask questions and build connections, YouX has you covered.
YouX will offer panel discussion with experts exploring questions like:
How can I show that my work has “business value?”
What skillsets and career trajectories are emerging?
Who can I partner with to scale my research practice?
Where can I leverage storytelling to make an impact?
We are told all the time to tell stories with our data. But how? And what makes for a good story? Leyla Farah led Storytelling at Salesforce, and now consults with organizations of all kinds looking to tell compelling stories with data. She will share different ways to create a data-driven narrative that drives both impact and action, and how to do it in a way that is grounded in data.
