UXPA Ireland hosted a meeting of companies, practitioners, and interested parties
Many of the most important interactions with a business take place before you actually become a customer – like looking around a shop, waiting to be served, or seeing an advert. This is why many web and software designers use the term user experience to reflect that the person interacting with the product or service may not be a customer as such.
Amid the rise of digital technologies and marketing, some might regard User Experience as a business buzzword.
– What is User Experience all about?
– Does user experience make a difference, and if so, how?
– Who are the people doing it?
– How can you improve the user experience of your product or service?
– How can you get involved or find someone to deliver UX services for you?
The UXPA hosted this event to bring together interested parties to discuss these questions and more.
