2016 Conference in Review

“The mentoring sessions were great. I don’t currently work in UX, so the “New to UX/Career Change” mentoring session was a nice jumping-off point for ideas of where to learn more about UX.”
- 2017 Conference Attendee
“The cost was incredibly reasonable and the one day commitment made attending much less of a hassle as I live in Boston and only needed to miss one day of work. The sessions I went to were great.”
- 2017 Conference Attendee
“Thank you for getting so many incredible young-mid career level women as presenters. The content was incredible, and it’s rare that you can learn from so many power women. I want to be friends with all of them!”
- 2017 Conference Attendee
“Thanks again for being such a vital and active UX community and resource. I’m in northeastern CT but really wish I lived closer to Boston so that I could attend more events the UXPA Boston chapter hosts. “
- 2017 Conference Attendee
“I learned a few things, reconnected with some classmates and friends, and gained new contacts in the industry. UXPA Boston is still the best conference deal in UX.”
- 2017 Conference Attendee
