(formerly known as IA Cocktail Hour Amsterdam(*)) This is a group for User Experience practitioners(**) in and around Amsterdam who would like to attend (one or more) UX Cocktail Hours in the neighborhood. The goal of the cocktail hours is to get together informally, share news and ideas through short presentations, meet other UX practitioners, chat about work, the weather, "koetjes en kalfjes" (chit-chat), and have a drink (or two). Most Cocktail Hours these days are held at the offices of a local UX department and the drinks and some snacks are usually sponsored. I will try to announce new cocktail hours at appropriate places (e.g.Twitter, the LinkedIn Group), but members of this group will get the messages earlier, and will be able to discuss the place to drink, the agenda, and outcome. (*) Early in 2007 we voted to change the name of this group into User Experience (UX) Cocktail Hours Amsterdam (**) If you feel your work is related to User Experience, but your business card says Information Architect, Interaction Designer, User Interface Engineer, Concept Designer, Usability Consultant, or similar, you're welcome too.
