What we’re about
Ladies that UX Durham (LTUX-DUR) is a helpful, informal and fun group that meets monthly to talk about user experience topics.

Lightning talks are just what they sound like: super short presentations. The idea is to give folks 5-7 minutes to present on a single topic. It's a great way to practice public speaking and/or get feedback on an idea you've been tinkering with!Several of you have already agreed to speak (thank you!) but there will also be time for a few ad-hoc sessions if you get inspired during the event!
