Unfortunately our keynote speaker Jane Austin will be unable to make it on Friday due to a change in personal circumstances.

However, we are delighted to welcome a new keynote speaker, Roger Attrill, UX Specialist at Linguamatics. Roger is a long standing contributor to the Cambridge UX community. His keynote title is 'Bias and the Law of Unintended Consequences'. Roger is @think_ui on Twitter.

HOW IT WORKS

Here’s a quick outline of what to expect.

  • Most of the agenda is organised on the day by participants. We have 4 confirmed talks: our keynote Jane Austin, and a three sponsor talks from Akendi, Red Gate and EMBL-EBI.
  • Anyone who wants to talk should be ready to give a 1 minute pitch at the start of the day.
  • Write your talk title and your name on a post-it, and add it to the agenda.
  • All participants get involved in organising the agenda and deciding which talks should appear.
  • If we have more talks than slots, we’ll find a democratic way to decide which talks get included!

BE PREPARED

By nature, the day will be very participative and we need your help to make the day awesome by:

Coming up with ideas of topics you want to be discussed on the day.
We won’t curate the talks, but if you know what you want to talk about already, let us know so we have an idea of who has a topic/talk prepared in advance. If you're not ready you'll also have the opportunity to add ideas on the day.

Preparing a talk? We’ll have 30 min slots, and 6 min lightning talks, so you can decide what’s best for you. If you never talked or facilitated a discussion, this is a great opportunity to do so. (Un)conferences are a safe way to share your thoughts, opinions and experience in a safe environment.
If you know what you want to say, let us know in advance so we have an idea of who has a talk prepared.

Simply coming with an open mind, and being ready to share your experiences. We can keep what’s discussed confidential if you want to.
