In the student microsoft discount software middle of November I took a trip up to Vancouver, BC. I was there attending Adaptive Path’s User Experience Intensive (UXI). UXI is student microsoft discount software a series of workshops we put on to give practitioners real world techniques that student microsoft discount software they can bring back into their organizations. This was my second event as an student microsoft discount software AP employee and my first UX Intensive.
The event is student microsoft discount software broken into four days, each focusing on a different discipline. This includes design strategy, design research, interaction design and student microsoft discount software information architecture. Each day is lead by one or more Adaptive Path practitioner, starting with a student microsoft discount software brief presentation and followed by a series of activities interspersed with more presentation. During breaks, everyone mingles around coffee and student microsoft discount software snacks checking email and chatting; during lunch we compare notes and student microsoft discount software find out what UX looks like at each other’s company. The day is student microsoft discount software capped with drinks and socializing followed by individual dinners.
I found that student microsoft discount software this format worked amazingly well. The event truly is “intensive”. You come out of 4 days with a student microsoft discount software spinning head full of terrific ideas. I found that the student microsoft discount software interactions with other attendees was just as valuable as the student microsoft discount software nuggets contained in the Keynote slide deck. As with all Adaptive Path events, you student microsoft discount software also get a bit of inspiration mixed in and truly feel like you student microsoft discount software are part of a larger design community.
