6.55pm - Welcome & intro
7pm - Growing Pains: from all the feels to embracing your chosen family (Andy Lobban)

About the talk
In a world where many UX professionals feel misunderstood and unaccepted, we discuss the magic of letting it all out, going undercover, and the unparalleled power of karaoke. It turns out collaboration is not only about agreeing, but also about understanding, singing off-key together, and saving us from ourselves.

Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the process.
