Northern User Experience (NUX) Group - More Passionate People Wanted!
Monday, August 11th, 2008I recently attended my 1st monthly meet-up of the Northern User Experience (NUX) in Manchester.
Although in attendee numbers it was very small, the quality of attendees (backgrounds, specialisms, industry experience) and the subsequent discussions on all things user experience and usability, made me compelled to consider:
What can be done to raise the exposure and therefore credibility of this very focussed, passionate group
In the 1st instance I have posted my first article on the NUX blog, where I have given my thoughts to how the group is currently promoting itself, followed by a quick mind dump of potential areas where the group and our activities can be marketed to help build its credibility and scale in the North West.
Calling all passionate people involved in UCD projects (usability consultants, information architects, user interface designers, developers)… the NUX group needs you!
When we are already getting the likes of a usability guru from Sage, an ex usability consultant at HSBC (now at Ability Net) and one of the original founders of Wordpress attending the most recent event, the NUX group already has a fantastic foundation, and with more people contributing to the blog and attending the monthly events, the exposure and credibility of the group will certainly increase.
