18:30 - 19:00 - Networking with drinks and nibbles 19:00 - 19:30 - First talk - Giles Colborne 19:30 - 19:45 - Break 19:45 - 20:15 - Second Talk - Rebecca Taylor 20:15 - 21:00 - Networking
First talk: From the edge of nowhere to the heart of tomorrow
When I began my career in user centred design, it was a fringe discipline. I fell in love with something that was undervalued, overlooked, and marginal. Today it’s one of the most valuable and exciting careers available.
That astonishing transformation is the result of three simple forces that continue to exert a powerful influence on the world today.
What are those forces? How have those changes played out? And what can they tell us about how our roles will develop in the future? I’ll share some stories, observations, and ideas about where we’ve been and where we’re going.
Giles Colborne, CEO, cxpartners
Giles Colborne began his career in HCI in the early 1990s and cofounded cxpartners in 2004. Since then it has grown to become one of the world’s leading independent experience design consultancies working on next-generation experience design, and generating hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue for companies such as Marriott, eBay, and AXA. His book Simple and Usable has sold tens of thousands of copies in Europe and North America and has been translated into Chinese and Korean. Giles is a former president of the UPA, former co-chair of IA Summit, and a UX Awards judge. He has worked with the British Standards Institute in developing standards for web accessibility.
Second talk: UX Superhero Design
Superman once said, “There’s a superhero inside all of us, we just need the courage to put on the cape.”
As UXers, we’ve seen the power UX has to transform projects. We’re the ones that wield the UX superpower - we waltz into a project, solve the clients’ problems, and fly off into orbit, taking our powers with us.
The superheroes of our movies and books not only do great things, but they also give back by inspiring us mortals and giving us the confidence and motivation to do the same.
We need to rethink our role and leave a legacy with our clients. Let’s help our clients put on the cape themselves.
Join Becky for a talk and exercise to explore this.

The UK Chapter of the User Experience Professionals’ Association (UXPA) is a not-for-profit organisation run exclusively by volunteers. We are affiliated with the International UXPA.
We bring together UK professionals who share a vision of creating compelling technology that meets users’ needs, desires and abilities. These professionals come from a broad family of disciplines such as user-centred design, research, and human factors.
Through our events and other work, we:
- Provide UX practitioners with opportunities for learning and professional growth - Champion the benefits of user-centred design techniques and approaches
Our Chapter is governed by some policies and bylaws of UXPA International, but has enough freedom to define many of its processes and policies. All of our bylaws are described in our Constitution, which was ratified in July 2013.
As a volunteer organisation, we do our best to support the community. Participation from, and collaboration with, the community is crucial.
