Αγαπητοί UXers,
ήρθε η ώρα να ανακοινώσω το επόμενο UX meetup της κοινότητάς μας το οποίο θα είναι δια ζώσης και αυτή τη φορά θα φιλοξενηθούμε από τη Skroutz.

Το meetup περιλαμβάνει 2 παρουσιάσεις/ομιλίες που θα επικοινωνήσουν ενδιαφέρουσες πρωτοβουλίες και UX πρακτικές της Skroutz.

Ακολουθεί περιγραφή των ομιλιών και των ομιλητών (στα αγγλικά).

**1\. Welcome \- Introduction**
**2\. Ομιλία \#1 “How fostering psychological safety leads to thriving teams”**

Ομιλητές:
Filippas Kotsis - Lead Product Designer @Skroutz
Vilma Fragkoulopoulou - Product Designer @Skroutz

Ever held back a design idea because you weren’t sure how the team would react? Psychological safety is key to unlocking bold thinking, creative risk-taking, and meaningful collaboration in product design and research.
In this talk, we’ll explore how we shifted our culture at Skroutz and the impact it’s had on our teams using insights from Google’s Project Aristotle and real-world lessons from Spotify, shared by Filippas Kotsis, former Spotify Design Lead.
Join us to learn practical ways to build psychological safety, embrace feedback, and help your team thrive creatively and collaboratively.

**Ομιλία #2 “UX Research @ Skroutz: 5 Years, 650+ Hours of Testing, Countless Lessons”**

Ομιλητές:
Michalis Beikos - Head of User Research team
Eva Chatziliadi - Lead UX Researcher

We didn’t start with a lab. We didn’t always have time for personas. And yes — we sometimes tested with our friends!!

This is the (real) story of how we built a UX research team inside a big marketplace. How we started scrappy, earned trust over time, and learned a lot along the way. If you're a designer or researcher doing UX research in an environment that’s “not quite ready” — come hang out, we’ve been there too.

You’ll walk away with practical, experience-based tips for doing UX research in fast-moving environments — especially when research isn't (yet) a priority. No fluff, just the things we wish someone had told us earlier.

H προσέλευση είναι στις 6.30μμ - 7μμ (Ελλάδας) και όπως πάντα μετά την ομιλία θα έχουμε χρόνο Q&Α και φυσικά για networking, snacks & drinks!

Θα τα πούμε από κοντά στις 4 Ιουνίου !
