UX in the City, Manchester 2019

Written By Katie Wilkinson

Overview

I was privileged to be part of a small group of students selected to attend UX in the City, Manchester with a group of fellow designers. It was a valuable experience that I will remember, mixing with industry professionals, learning from other designer’s projects and learning hacks that can improve productivity and efficiency.

We were only able to attend on Day two, but I still gained a lot of knowledge from the people that I spoke to and the talks that I went to.

Throughout the day, I attended as many workshops and talks as I could. There were so many talks and workshops organised that is was difficult to choose between them.

Talks and Workshops

  • Improving the Customer Experience with Top Tasks - Gerry McGovern / Customer Carewords

  • Intensive Care: Redesigning NHS.uk - Dean Vipond / NHS Digital

  • Neuroscience of Digital Distractions and the Social Responsibility of Designers​ - Anastasia Dedyukhina ​ / Consciously Digital

  • UX Life Hacks: How to Work Smarter and Get More Done - Neil Turner / Redgate

  • How to Make Visual Designs Shine with User-Centred Design - Ollie Miller / cxpartners

I would have loved to have attended both days, and it is definitely an event that I would attend again!
