Speed Dating in the UX Industry

Looking for your next career change or just interested in networking with various individuals from the UX industry?

For our first event of the year, She Can Do will be hosting a speed networking event. Just like speed dating, the event will facilitate introductions and conversation between people who don’t know each other but would like to network.

We are inviting designers and aspiring designers of all levels and experience to engage and connect with heads of various design teams in South Africa.

Attendees will rotate with an allotted amount of time to speak to each team lead, ask questions, and learn what differences exist between design in a corporate, consulting firm, agency, startup and more. Additionally, this opportunity will allow attendees to look at what personality types suit different environments or what environment to choose in order to best facilitate your personal career path.

We’ve recruited a number of various ‘dating profiles’ for you to choose from. Potential dates for you are:

• Standard Bank
• Absa
• Deloitte
• Freethinking Consultants
• Sand Dollar Designs
• Retro Rabbit
• McKinsey
• EMGuidance
• The Bakery
• Mantaray
• Harambee
• LeadHome
• Viga
• DocFox
• DVT
• Broadley Speaking
• BetterWork
• Open Window
• Multichoice
• Vitality Group
  And more…

So join us as we turn things around by giving the employees the space to interview the employers instead!
