Open Tech Calendar

This month is a themed event! We have a couple of fantastic speakers who will be talking around the theme of UX courses and certification.

Chris Rourke (founder & CEO of Uservision) will speak about the Certified Practitioner for Usability and UX Foundation (CPUX-F) qualification, which he delivers training on here in Edinburgh.

Helen Peak (freelance web and UX/content designer) will be reflecting on her recent experience undertaking an online professional diploma in User Experience Design with the UX Design Institute.

And I’ll talk a bit about David Travis’ Udemy course – User Experience (UX): The Ultimate Guide to Usability and UX - which I purchased several years ago but have not (yet!) completed.

This is our monthly informal gathering - just turn up, grab a drink, take a seat and start talking UX! You'll find us upstairs at The Outhouse (off the top of Broughton St.) - take the stairs to the right of the bar as you enter the venue.

Each month we'll have a short talk followed by some discussion around the things that interest you most. Add your ideas to our sketchbook - bit.ly
