In many teams across Dubai and the UAE, research still isn’t a given. Sometimes it’s not done at all. Sometimes it’s done quickly by product managers or founders. Sometimes designers are expected to focus purely on delivery. And even when research *does* happen… It often struggles to influence decisions. Insights get lost. Teams move forward without clarity. So the question isn’t just how to do more research. It’s what actually makes research matter. This **[HCD UAE Meetup](https://www.hcd.ae/ "https://www.hcd.ae/")** explores what needs to change. From **research craft** to **ResearchOps** to **AI**, we’ll unpack the real gap between insight and impact through a live panel discussion. Expect honest perspectives, practical experiences, and an open conversation with the community. This session is co-hosted with the [Dubai User Experience Research (UXR) community](https://www.meetup.com/dubai-user-research/ "https://www.meetup.com/dubai-user-research/"), bringing together designers, researchers, and product teams in the same room to share perspectives and learn from each other. Stay tuned as we reveal the panel over the coming weeks. The session will be hosted by [Jonathan Steingiesser](https://www.steingiesser.design/ "https://www.steingiesser.design/"), who has worked across design, research, and innovation, including as Principal Design Researcher at MYOB in Australia. If you work in design, research, product, or leadership and have ever wondered why research doesn’t always land, this conversation is for you. 📍 Building A5, Digital Park, Dubai Silicon Oasis 🗓 Thursday, 21 May ⏰ 6.30PM ## Drinks Join us after for drinks at the Radisson Red rooftop pool. ## Hosted by **Human Centred Design UAE Meetup** ## Venue Partner **Dtec – Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus** One of the largest tech startup campuses in the region. ## Sponsor Proudly supported by **aspexx.** ## Join Us Whether you are a designer, researcher, product manager, founder, or simply curious about the future of design, this will be a fantastic evening of learning, conversation, and connection.

**💥 Sip n Paint, Reconnect 💥** Step into a calming, creative space where art becomes more than just paint on a canvas—it becomes a form of play, release, and self-expression. This Sip n Paint session gently weaves in elements inspired by art therapy, inviting you to slow down, tune in, and express what words often can’t. Through intuitive painting, free exploration of colors, shapes, and patterns, you’ll experience the restorative benefits of creative play—reducing stress, quieting the mind, and reconnecting with your natural sense of curiosity and joy. There’s no right or wrong outcome here; the process matters more than the result. As you paint, you’ll also share the space with like-minded creatives—socializing, laughing, and enjoying a beverage in a warm, supportive atmosphere. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, emotional release, or simply a fun and meaningful way to connect, this session offers a gentle reset for both mind and spirit. Come as you are. Play freely. Leave lighter, inspired, and creatively nourished. ✨ Fee - Aed 40 Payment linked below: https://pay.ziina.com/annuevents/N4CHAj4XNr
