You don’t need to get elaborate; just have fun and get creative! Bring your poster on an 11x17 piece 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 looking 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 bringing a poster, you’re definitely welcome to participate as an audience member and participate in the socializing and networking. This will be an intimate gathering that offers everybody the chance to present fresh and creative work, ideas or concepts in an informal and fun setting. We invite everyone to come out and share your expertise and get inspired by your colleagues. Everyone who attends will gain entry into a raffle for a door prize 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. Note: This is the NH UX version of Pecha Kucha, originally created by Klein Dytham Architecture in Tokyo. Learn more about Pecha Kucha. RSVP: You must RSVP to attend, as we need a head count for the venue. Send RSVPs to newhampshire.ux@gmail.com.
