Whether you're new to UX work, or an experienced practitioner, we are confident that you will be inspired and energised by the content. We can also guarantee that you will truly broaden your library horizons, given that delegates will be attending from around 20 countries worldwide and because you will be interacting with this vibrant community through individual, team and workshop activities. We also offer a full social programme including a Gala Dinner at the University Arms hotel.
