Schedule

Our team is ready to assist you and answer any questions you may have.

Elizabeth Rosenzweig will be kicking off the event with a World Usability Day introduction.

In this session, round tables will have a specific topic to start with, and 2 mentors who are the table topic leaders. If you are interested in a particular topic, join that table to participate in the discussion. There will be note cards at each table to jot down specific questions for the mentor to address. Please be respectful of your table participants, and ensure everyone's voice is heard.

Richard Banfield will be speaking on Designing a Career Where You'll Love Yourself

Connect with fellow attendees, industry professionals, and potential employers. We'll have some food and beverages for you.

In this session, meet one-on-one with experienced design mentors for rapid-fire feedback and conversation. Mentees will sit at any table they choose. Whoever is nearest the mentor goes first. After about 5-7 minutes, the mentor will ask that the mentee to give the seat to the next person at the table (time per pairing may vary). Rotate, connect, and make the most of this fast-paced opportunity to learn, grow, and get actionable advice. Use this time in a way that suits your needs. You could get a quick portfolio and resume review. Or, it could be a simple discussion on how to showcase your skills, highlight your unique strengths, and make a lasting impression on potential employers. Tip: While you wait for the mentor, connect with the people on your table.
