User Testing Night (UX Speed Dating)

This is a monthly event where tech professionals get to present a user test to three users for in-person response. It's formatted like a speed dating event!

Who:

UX designers, project managers, start-up founders or anyone who wants to have some software/device/concept tested. You'll need to bring along a user (it's required) and maybe some swag if you have some laying around.

What:

UX Speed Dating (http://uxspeeddating.org/) is a monthly event where tech professionals get to present a product to three users for in-person feedback. Typically these are software prototypes being tested, but it could be a game, a physical product, a website -- any sort of product that needs preliminary user feedback to be successful.

It's formatted like a speed dating event with a twist. Product owners sit stationary and the users switch to a new tests every 20 minutes. Users are entered to win a grand-prize (see below) presented at the end of the event. Check out the fact sheet (http://uxspeeddating.org/docs/UXSD_format_and_rules.pdf) for more details.
