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.

We have reserved the General Washington park pavilion, which is a covered pavilion with picnic tables and grills. Bathroom facilities are located next to the pavilion. Food and drinks will be provided by none other than Marilyn Tremaine from UsabilityNJ (we hear she’s a fantastic cook). The menu will accommodate children, vegetarians, and meat-eaters. It will also be appropriate for people with a variety of allergies and other dietary needs. Please note that alcohol is not permitted in the park. Dogs are welcome at the pavilion as long as they are leashed (visitors must also clean up after their dogs). Parking and Location Details: There is no formal address for the pavilion. The most visible landmark is the pavilion’s bathroom, a small brown building which is located at the corner of Lord Sterling Rd. and Embarcation Rd. There is a parking area to the right of the bathroom along Embarcation Rd., and a sign next to the bathroom marked “General Washington.” Next to that sign is a short pathway leading to the pavilion. 1157 PA Please join PhillyCHI, UsabilityNJ, UPA Delaware Valley and PANMA for a summer picnic at Washington Crossing Historic Park.

The Confab is an informational and networking event of particular interest to designers and creative professionals in the Bay Area, especially those planning on doing creative hiring in the near future, or looking to learn about the hiring process for their own career development needs. The afternoon session begins as a moderated one hour panel discussion, with recruiters and hiring directors from some of the planet's most innovative companies: Emily Delmont Recruiter, Google Creative Lab John Foster Head of Talent and Organization, IDEO Kate Gilman Recruiter, 24 Seven, Inc. Steve Johnson Director of User Experience Design & Web Development, LinkedIn The panel is followed by a half hour Q&A period, and a two hour reception, giving attendees the opportunity to meet with each other, and with the Employer Sponsors, including creative staffing agencies Aquent, 24 Seven and Filter Talent. The optional morning session features a pair of concurrent workshops, one focused on creative hiring strategies, the other on building an online presence for job search purposes. This will be the fourth Confab, in a series that's already hit Austin, NYC and Portland, and while the format is similar, we're expecting the San Francisco installment to be the largest by a long shot: attendance is expected to approach 200, including recruiters, studio managers, designers and creative workers from a range of disciplines, including interaction, user experience and web design. Tickets: $60 for the afternoon panel and reception $85 with the optional morning session Venue: The Autodesk Gallery One Market St., Second Floor San Francisco, CA 1365 CA A unique, focused knowledge-sharing and network-building event for creative professionals and the companies that rely on them.
