“The sheer amount of UX knowledge in the Boston area is surprising. This was my first UX conference and I thought it was just a niche field, I had no idea how extensive it was as an industry.”

“Speaking for the first time at this conference. It’s a great community and even more rewarding than other speaking engagements I have done.”

“Interesting sessions, great networking and mentoring opportunities, everyone was very receptive to meeting and chatting.”
