CCX Sydney is now with a new sponsor Atlassian, a new venue and more importantly a new schedule of awesome speakers to discuss creative: customer experience, user experience, user interface design, content design, service design and much more!! This will be our forth event of 2024 and we are very excited to welcome two speakers on the same night!. Firstly our dear friend and colleague Susan Wolfe followed by a Live online presentation from Adelaide by Tim Yeo.
Firstly Susan Wolfe, Founder & Principal, Leapfrog Studio will give a talk entitled: A UX designer, a client, and a hiring manager walk into a bar…
About Susans Talk:
This sounds like the start of a bad joke, or your worst nightmare! This short talk will get you thinking about what you’re going to say, considering how to adjust stories for different people, and leaving you with some tactics for framing the conversation. And if you’re the sort of person who is totally freaked out by the possibility of finding yourself in that bar, never fear because this is just the warm-up act for Tim Yeo’s talk on succeeding in our industry as a quiet achiever!
About Susan:

Long-term, proven track record of partnering with clients to design and implement practical strategies that work in the real world, not just in theory.

Susan talk will then be followed by Tim Yeo, who will be coming to us via a live cross from Adelaide and his talk will be entitled: The Quiet Achiever
About Tim:
