Would you like to do a talk?

Each of our meetups has two 30-minute talks which aim to enable the audience to learn in a practical way from the successes and failures of others.

We welcome talks on a variety of topics, including UX design, visual design, user/design research, product development, entrepreneurship and innovation.

If you're interested in speaking, we'd love to hear from you.
