This month, IxDA and UXIrregulars are co-hosting a talk about how to create a culture of mentorship in our local UX community.
Wednesday May 6, 2009 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm 215 Spadina Ave. Centre for Social Innovation, Room 120 FREE The format of the evening will be: 1) Video excerpt of Kim Goodwin's Interaction 09 talk, "Each One, Teach One". (See a summary: http://www.cooper.com/journal/2009/02/kim_goodwin_ixda_keynote.html) 2) Various speakers will share how they found their mentor/mentee, what worked in their relationship, and what didn't work so well. 3) We'll break into small groups to brainstorm how we can foster a culture of UX mentorship in Toronto. As always, we'll go to The Rivoli after the event to continue chatting. PLEASE RSVP (we got really tight on space last time): http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2511546/ Also, PLEASE spread the word -- anyone with an interest in user experience / interaction design / information architecture / HCI / etc. etc. etc. is welcome, and any experience level. Attending doesn't mean you'll be committed to becoming a mentor or mentee. We just want to start the conversation. Hope to see you then, Meredith & Matt Twitter: @IxDAToronto Email: [email protected] ------ Thanks to our generous sponsors, Usability Matters (http://www.usabilitymatters.com) and nForm (http://www.nform.ca), for making this event possible. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
