\nPoster Session/Holiday Socia
 l:
\nThis isn’t a typical conference poster session. You don’t need to get 
 elaborate; just have fun and get creative! Bring your poster on an 11x17 pi
 ece of paper and we will mount it for display. You can print a screen shot 
 of something you worked on, perhaps a before-and-after. Or you can draw up 
 an idea or a unique process that you use in your work. Again, we are not lo
 oking for elaborate polished posters, just something simple to demonstrate 
 an idea. All posters will be on display throughout the night while everyone
  has the opportunity to meet and network with other local UX professionals.
  If interested, each poster author will be given the floor for a couple of 
 minutes to explain their poster. If you prefer not to participate by bringi
 ng a poster, you’re definitely welcome to participate as an audience member
  and participate in the socializing and networking.
\n
\nThis will be an in
 timate gathering that offers everybody the chance to present fresh and crea
 tive work, ideas or concepts in an informal and fun setting. We invite ever
 yone to come out and share your expertise and get inspired by your colleagu
 es.
\n
\nEveryone who attends will gain entry into a raffle for a door priz
 e that you won’t want to miss! People who bring posters will be given three
  raffle tickets, so be sure to bring a poster to have triple the chance of 
 winning.
\n
\nNote: This is the NH UX version of Pecha Kucha, originally cr
 eated by Klein Dytham Architecture in Tokyo. Learn more about Pecha Kucha.
