Description
User Experience and Interface: The Psychology Behind Digital Design
What the heck is UX and UI? It’s a relatively new term yet has been practised for over two decades. How has it evolved? Why is it important? What are the elements that contribute to success?
Basically – WTF is behaviour design?
During this TedTalk-style presentation, you will learn from a panel of user researchers, UX designers, business analysts, and digital strategists, as they help you navigate the complex and ever-growing field of UX and UI.
Following the talks, come together for a panel discussion and participate in the conversation with all of our speakers.
Join us, learn about UI/UX while sparking up new connections and conversations with other local ladies.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Who is this event for?
MeetnTech doesn’t assume any UX experience and is for anyone who is keen to get to know about this field or just simply curious.
Chic Geek is a non-profit that aims to support women at the intersection of technology and entrepreneurship. We want to see more women as makers, builders, and creators, leveraging technology to change the world.
To achieve this, we focus all of our events and initiatives around our three core values: Being Brave, Staying Curious and Supporting Each Other.
*We use an inclusive definition of 'women', encouraging the participation of diverse identities traditionally underrepresented in technology.
