UX LX 2012

Involved in UX? Live in Europe (or happen to be passing through this fine continent in May, 2013)? Great news, UX LX is just the ticket for you.

Organised and run by Bruno Figueiredo, who recently invited us to run a web typography workshop and speak on the past and future of web typography at Refresh LX (alongside a hugely talented line up); UX LX looks perfect for anyone involved in user experience wishing to grow and deepen their understanding of the craft of user experience. We heard great things about UX LX while we were in Lisbon for Refresh LX and the line up of speakers, just announced, only serves to underpin the quality, and pedigree, of the programme.

The line up of speakers is hugely impressive to say the least, including, amongst others: Liz Danzico, co-founder and co-chair of SVA’s MFA Interaction Design; Karen McGrane, content strategist extraordinaire; and Luke Wroblewski, author of the excellent Mobile First, on A Book Apart.

Early bird tickets are deeply discounted, we’d urge you to pick one up before they go (and they’r selling fast).
