Northern User Experience

Northern User Experience is an informal community for people interested in usability, HCI, information design and all aspects of the user experience.

The membership is as diverse as the field itself, with developers, academics, usability specialists, accessibility experts and technical authors all represented. Whatever your interest in usability, we hope you will find something useful here.

The group meet on the first Wednesday of the month to learn, debate and socialise. Usually there is a presentation, followed by a discussion and a visit to the pub, but the group drives the agenda, and they have plans to include more practical sessions, such as a UI problem-solving workshop.

Meetings are free and open to all. The group is unfunded, and rely on the goodwill and energy of our members to contribute and make the meetings work. If you have something interesting to share with the group, and are willing to put together a short presentation, please get in touch.

The group is based in Manchester, but are also planning sessions in Leeds, and looking for venues in Liverpool.
