8 UXR Workshops, UXR Job Boards and Employers, 6 Events and more
It’s Spring! This weekend was glorious here in San Francisco. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, the butterflies were dancing, and it felt OH SO GREAT to be alive! Today, I'm still feeling grateful, energized, creative, and optimistic.
Here are a slew of user research workshops, jobs, and events to fuel your curiosity!
Ask Like A Pro Spring cohort and discounts
The Spring Ask Like A Pro series runs live from May 9th - July 8th. Check out the new and updated ways to participate (before and during the series) and the sixth workshop called Present. Save up to $650 when you register before May 2nd!
The growing Alumni community is gaining momentum. I hear from people all over the world who are meeting and helping one another! The 45+ tools and templates continue to delight. Some benefits for the Spring cohort include:
Three participation options to fit your schedule and your needs. Join us On-Demand (to get immediate access), as an Observer, or go All-In.
Busy schedule? Unique situation? Many students are building their own experiences with On-Demand or Observer seats, plus 1:1 coaching. Learn more about 1;1 time here.
Two or more stakeholder-sponsored projects courtesy of our new partnership with UsabilityHub! Our Winter cohort partnership with Reduct was a fantastic win for everyone involved. Thank you, again, Reduct!
Transcripts and audio recordings for all pre-work videos. Devour, and refer back to them, when and where you want.
2-3 hours of pre-recorded training before each live workshop allow you to learn when convenient and review, fast forward, and rewind as needed.
Weekly Observer “check-ins” and a dedicated Slack channel. NOTE: I have been asked multiple times to underscore what a HUGE benefit these networking and community aspects provide to interact with me and the rest of the cohort. Consider yourself updated!
Registration fees increase on Sunday 5/2! There are only one or two All-In seats left for Spring! Seven were filled by Observers "moving up" and previous students returning for more! I keep the cohorts small for the best hands-on experience. The downside is... they fill up quickly, without advertising, so register today!
Grab your Observer seat by Sunday 5/2 and save over $395! You'll participate along with the live cohort, enjoy the flexibility to watch live or via the recorded replays, get access to all of the training, workshop materials, templates, and tools — in real-time.
You'll love this option if you have little to no hands-on product research experience and ultimately seek to become an All-In. Take the Observer series first, then come back as an All-In. Your Observer registration fees will be deducted from your All-In seat so you get the benefit of participating in two cohorts for the price of one! Everyone wins.
