About the event:
Are you looking to land your first UX job in the era of AI? Do you want to avoid wasting months or even years while going in the wrong directions? Are you adapting to the drastic changes AI is bringing to the UX field?
​While the demand for user experience professionals is projected to continue increasing, it can be tough to break in, and you can face many pitfalls along the way.
There is a large variety of tactics to build the right UX & AI skills, portfolio and experience, position yourself as an attractive candidate, and get noticed by employers. Their effectiveness can vary tremendously and have a major impact on how successful (or not) you are with the UX career transition.
On top of that, AI keeps growing at a rapid pace and reshaping the UX field and jobs. The time to adapt is now (otherwise, you risk being left behind).
