UX Camp Brighton’s Post

Big shout out to the team behind UX Camp Brighton for another amazing conference. UXCB very much has a cult classic status but continues to do a wonderful job at welcoming so many new people to the fold.  My talk was all about helping people 'manage up' better via their 1:1s. It was a mixture of things I've learned and things I wished I'd known 5-10 years ago. Attempting to summarise it into a pithy sentence, I think it's about knowing your need, knowing your audience, building momentum, relentlessly prioritising and some good old-fashioned admin. I also got to see some incredible talks on recovering from (project) emergencies, models for thinking about Design, spatial computing, conversational Design, creating a customer-centric culture and creating clarity. As ever we had great food, in a great venue with great people. The Design industry is very lucky that events like this are so useful and enjoyable. Hats off to the organisers and volunteers for all their hard work.
