Hi all! Guess what? UX mini barcamp is this Saturday! Woo-hoo!
Come along for an afternoon of UX related goodness. Talks,
presentations and discussions about all sorts of things, led by your
fellow UX practitioners and experts, followed by pizza. Gotta be
good, right?
Barcamp is happening at the usual location - Kiwibank offices, Radio
NZ House, 155 The Terrace. It's kicking off at 1pm on Saturday 4
June, and will be wrapping up around 6pm that day. Since it's a
weekend, the office doors will be locked off, but we'll be down there
letting people in from 12.30 on Saturday so you've got time to pour
yourself a cup of tea and say hi before we kick off. (There will be a
cell phone number listed on the door if you're running late, so never
fear - we won't be leaving you out in the cold on the street!)
For those who haven't been to a barcamp before, it's all pretty
simple. It's kind of like a conference, except there are no set
presenters - the content is delivered by the attendees. So if you've
got something that you'd like to talk about, it would be awesome if
you came along with a mini presentation, or an idea of a discussion
you'd like to lead or an activity you'd like to run. It doesn't need
to be big - even a 5 minute book or tool review would be awesome. The
more people who contribute content, the better barcamp will be, so
don't be shy! :-)
We'll be ordering in pizza for dinner at the end of barcamp, so please
come armed with $10 for that (as we're taking the easy route and not
going out hunting for sponsors this time).
Also, please note that there won't be internet access, so if you're
wanting to be online you'll have to bring your own. There will be
power points for laptops though, and a datashow for any presentations
people want datashows for. (And a white board for those who like
writing instead. We've got you all covered, yes indeed!)
There are still some spaces on the sign-up sheet, so if you haven't
put your name down yet, it's not too late. You can sign up over

See you all at barcamp on Saturday!
