Problem Statement
SF lacked a MeetUp group devoted to inviting speakers to discuss RWD methods, tools, stories.
Goals
- Present events related to topic on regular basis
- Pass knowledge on to the community
- Help people find jobs, fill roles.
Design Research
- Formally create group and open it for all to become members.
- Study how group grew over time and hosted first event.
- Chilled out from there really.
No items found.
I organized popular UX related events with Sandjis Ruluks, Mark Otto, Kristian Widjaja, Vlad Magdalin.
Design Process
- Kept chilling out, hosting regular meetings every two months or so depending on speaker availability.
- Constantly reach out to potential guests and hosts to work with.
- Grow a network of partners related to the success of my events and nurtured relationships with them.
