So many of us are home for the holidays without the distractions of busy work schedules. That makes it a perfect time to see old friends and make new ones with some networking, peer mentorship and great UX conversations thrown in.

As always, all are welcome. We may even have a surprise visitor or two.

Close 2009 with this casual holiday intermezzo among your friends and peers in the Toronto UX community!

ABOUT UX IRREGULARS

UX Irregulars are a rag-tag, fugitive fleet of user experience designers, researchers and strategists who design mostly Web interactions, but also software, and sometimes crazy things like ski hills.

Feb 3, 2010: CHIFOO Meeting: Mobile Agency Life: Leadership in a Quickly Shifting Landscape at University of Oregon White Stag Blocks

fellene — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:36:04 -0700

The release of the iPhone 3G and, with it, Apple’s launch of the App Store marked 2008 as the year that mobile computing changed forever. We are witnessing the birth of a new class of technology: pocket-sized devices with always-on broadband that understand who you are and where you are. With a technological and cultural revolution unfolding before our eyes, how do interaction designers and agencies deal with such a quickly shifting landscape? What does leadership mean when there is a perceived lack of solid research, UI best practices, and industry mentors at your fingertips? James will bring some clarity to this area, reflecting on her experiences designing successful interactions for a variety of devices.

Jan 6, 2010: CHIFOO Meeting: "Confessions of a Public Speaker" with Scott Berkun at Art Institute of Portland

fellene — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:18:41 -0700

Presented by Scott Berkun,
author of "Confessions of a Public Speaker" and other books

If you wonder why your wonderful ideas rarely get accepted, or are compromised beyond recognition in meeting after meeting, it might not be your creative design talents that are the problem. It’s your ability to frame, shape and pitch your ideas effectively to others.
This fun, brutally honest, interactive talk, loosely based on the O’Reilly book ‘Confessions of a Public Speaker’, will give you everything you need to know to present, pitch, convince and sell your ideas so your world domination plans can begin.
