What we’re about
Welcome to UX Wales, based in Cardiff, for anyone who works in or with UX or is UX-curious!
By joining this meet up, or attending any of our events, you are agreeing to the UX Wales Code of Conduct. You can guess at the kind of stuff that this says, but do read it, just in case. Thanks.
We appreciate Cardiff does not equal Wales; we're seeking to encourage more UX Wales chapters in other areas (Swansea, Aber, Wrex and so on), so if you'd like to start a local chapter of UX Wales in your area, we'd love to hear from you.
