Journal—That was UX London 2023
That was UX London 2023
June 28th, 2023
UX London 2023 is over.
That feels weird. I’ve spent most of this year planning for this event. It’s been something that’s coming towards me. Now it’s in the rear-view mirror. Surreal.
I’ve talked about this with other conference organisers. Some of them get the post-conference blues. It makes sense. You spend so much time pouring all your energy into something and then one day, suddenly it’s done. No wonder smart folks book some holiday time for the week after a big event.
Luckily for me, the organisation of UX London isn’t all on my shoulders. Far from it. Louise did all the hard work: planning, logistics, execution. All I had to take care of was the line-up.
Before the event, I was already feeling pretty darn happy with the line-up I had assembled. Now that the event is over, I’m feeling even happier. I was blown away.
There were some speakers on the line-up that I already knew would deliver the goods. I’ve seen them speak before. They’re a safe pair of hands. But there were other speakers I had never met before, much less seen them speak. I was pretty sure they’d be great, but I couldn’t be certain.
Well, it turned out that literally everyone was fantastic. I know, I know—that sounds highly improbable. Out of 15 people, no duds? But take it from me, every single one of them was terrific. You kinda had to be there.
Imran, Vim, Daniel, Trine, Vitaly, Mansi, Stephen, Asia, Amy, Paul, Stacey, Ignacia, Stefanie, Hannah, and Dave—thank you, thank you, thank you!
I’ve been getting a heartwarming buzz from reading how much people got out of the event…
Eliza Lawson finished her summary by saying:
So many amazing things to take away from the conference. But I think the main one for me is “I want to do that. I could do that. I’m GOING to do that…one day.”
Anastasiya Korolkova came as part of the scholarship programme:
☺️ Thank you to everyone involved in organizing this remarkable event. Your dedication and hard work created a truly remarkable and enriching experience. I am sincerely grateful and eagerly look forward to what the future holds for UX London.
Jojo Tulip finished their detailed write-up by saying:
Couldn’t recommend UX London enough, it was awesome 😎👍
Jan Henckens said:
A good mix of inspiring talks and practical workshops, top-notch organisation and cool venue meant we had a great time (and we might already want to go back next year 😀)
And I’m equally pleased that the speakers got so much out of the event…
Huge thanks to Jeremy Keith for inviting me, and the team at Clearleft for organising a great event.
UX London was amazing - full of wonderful UX folks who genuinely care about using their skills to do good.
I bring back with me relationships and ideas that go way beyond the gathering!
I’m going to bask in this post-conference glow for a little while. Then it’s time to start planning the next event…
