there were user experience meetups, that was east of downtown? And we didn’t have to deal with parking, traffic, had better food and were a smaller, more intimate group?
SGVUX is a design collective and member-led community that fosters peer-to-peer learning.
Events are created through member feedback and suggestions, which attract new and transitioning career professionals. SGVUX also creates opportunities for leadership for our members, to build new leaders by promoting soft skill development and career growth mentorship.
How might we make attending and actively participating in user experience meetups more engaging and meaningful for long-term career growth?
[a] Agenda = time constraints, digital/in-person venues (space, A/V, food)
[b] Slack community = topic selection, solicit feeedback, recruit feedback, facilitation and engagement
[c] Operations = social media accounts, event assets made by volunteers, markteing/outreeach, retrospectives & feedback for future events
[d] Planning = primarily made around food options! But also, our #planning channel on slack is 100% transparent and an evolving group effort to produce events
[a] First meetup was a planning workshop to collected member feedback for events
[b] Translate insights into topical events and workshops for the calendar year
[c] Planning workshop a year later to discuss learnings, feedback and plans for the next year
