Networking, competitions and how the industry works

Our June meetup at Teknologihuset brought design students and professionals together to talk about networking, competitions and how the industry works. Our stated aim was to improve dialogue between the design industry and education in user experience and interaction design.

The programme opened with an overview of three design competitions, Gulltaggen, Visuelt and BEKK's UX Cup, followed by presentations from student winners. Representatives of six design agencies and consultancies in the Oslo area then gave short talks on their processes, projects and clients, on UX today and in the future, and on what they look for in a CV or portfolio.

A Q&A debate followed, with questions also taken via Twitter, and the evening ended with mingling.
