I was talking recently with the gorgeous Penny Hagen wondering about what had happened to the Sydney UPA chapter. Things have been quiet there for a long while and we haven’t had an official meeting for ages.
It got me thinking that it would be great to have a purely social usability gathering, where we could all catch up and get back in touch offline.
We came up with the event name, Underground Usability Professionals Association, or UUPA. But unfortunately, as Erietta was quick to point out, the acronym has already been assumed by another organisation :( [if you're wondering, it's worth a look!]
We then came up with the Blackmarket Usability Meetup, which Pat considered for half a second, until he realised BUM probably wasn’t appropriate.
So here we are, two days out, without a name. Not to worry.
Social UPA!
This is simply a casual after work get together for User Experience people and friends… No microphones, no projectors, no slideshows.
And you don’t need to be a member of the UPA, but interest in User Experience would be good.
Where and when?
Friday April 3rd, 5:00pm onwards
Art House Hotel
275 Pitt Street, Sydney
Upstairs
Come and catch up with some old and new friends!
Can you make it? Let us know and spread the word! I’m really looking forward to it ;)
