7pm - UX and 'Defining the Damn Thing' (Chris Rourke, Founder & CEO of User Vision)

Can you define what User Experience means clearly, concisely and accurately to someone who doesn’t know what it is?

People seem increasingly keen to use the terms User Experience and UX in their work conversations. Does that mean there is a strong collective understanding about the meaning of UX and any differences with similar terms such as usability, customer experience, interaction design or service design? Do we actually need a formal definition of UX with clear parameters? Are different definitions appropriate depending on who you’re talking to?

In this talk Chris will lead group exercises around defining UX and discuss some common informal and formal definitions of UX and other related terms. Is there a consensus on the definitions? Come along, contribute and find out.

7.45pm. Closing chat.
