Product-minded people gather in Den Haag LeanUX. Join us for knowledge sharing, networking and making friends!

**Thirsty Thursday**
Two people take the stage instead of one long talk. This way, we can share a variety of perspectives and make it easier for new speakers to participate.

Thanks to our generous sponsor Worth Works we can now host up to 75 people!

*Maybe you'd like to give a tiny talk sometime too? [Get in touch](mailto:hallo@matthijszwinderman.nl)!*

**The Talks**

**1\. How bad insights from good research can kill your design ideas – Slava Shestopalov**
So, you’ve conducted research. Maybe user interviews or prototype testing. Now you have lots of “insights.” Or do you? The thing is, not everything you saw, heard, recorded, or wrote down is an actual insight. Some of it is dangerous to use, yet it hides under the guise of the “user’s voice.” It’s not me, it’s what users said. These aren’t my words; they did it during testing. What makes this even trickier today is the growing presence of GenAI features in UX tools — they can easily add another layer of bias if left unsupervised. In this talk, I’ll share my experience of distilling real UX insights from bias and buzz, inspired by my recent work in the B2B SaaS space — specifically on a software platform for worker safety and sustainability.

Slava Shestopalov is a design manager at Wolters Kluwer, acting as the head of design of the Enablon platform. His work focuses on strategic design, leadership, and connecting the dots across different areas of innovation. Slava also shares his thoughts on his Medium blog.

**2\. \(TBA\, but it will involve SPACE 🚀\)**
