IxDA NYC is pleased to present 

UX Show and Tell with Chris Avore

UX Show and Tell is a casual workshop that’s all about the work, where you get feedback on your UX, IA and IxD deliverables from practitioners instead of stakeholders.

Because let's face it: even the most involved practitioners of the UX community have few places to share work with other helpful colleagues in a face to face environment.

Even if you don't have something to show, help your fellow IA's, designers, and researchers by sharing solutions with those who are showing work.

The Format
There will be three rooms to keep the number of people small and facilitate discussion. Each person gets about ½ hour. They begin by providing a background on the project and the deliverable or document he or she will show. Presenters then identify whether they're providing work that addressed a unique problem that others could benefit learning from, or they state the problem or issue they're facing and ask the group for help. The next 15 to 20 minutes are spent walking through the document and how others have solved similar problems. The remaining half is reserved for feedback and discussion. We plan on having 3 – 5 presentations per room depending how quick each one is.

If you are interested in showing your work please contact us at nyc.ixda@gmail.com. We're looking for 9 – 15 people to share their work. Work can be any type of deliverable or artifact, such as personas, wireframes, scenarios and user stories, concept models, site maps, prototypes, content strategy, sketchboards, design process, your portfolio, your resume, so forth. We need people with work in different formats, we'll have projector in one room, a large LCD in another, and the third will not have something to display.
