Meetup Details

Come over to celebrate the World Usability Day 2017.

This is an open cause meetup to share and speak about you and your vision to enter into UX world. What UX is mean to you and what you looking to see in coming days. Does UX help your business. come and share some stories and hear about other stories. The floor is open for every topics and for everyone.

Here are some topics that we can share and speak about:

• Universal Design: Creating technology and products that work for everyone

• Accessibility

• Create more usable government websites

• Artificial intelligent (AI) systems supporting global inclusion

o AI systems to protect against bullying

• Empathy as a part of collaboration

• Social Change through Social Media

• Unity through Social Change

• Unity is inclusion

• Change through Inclusion

• Inclusion through Collaboration

• Global User Experience as a path towards inclusion

Well-designeduser experiences allow for the uniqueness of people’s different strengths and believe to co-exist in a place of similarity and common ground. Tools and technologies that embrace similarities to tap into the potential of all people creates conditions that promote people to be their best selves, to cultivate and nurture people will produce better outcomes in all we do.

Poorly designed systems create an atmosphere of confusion as people try to figure out how to perform simple tasks that have not been design with the user in mind. In the worst cases, poorly designed technology can produce information and results that is not accurate, further adding to the notion of systems being rigged and information being portrayed as false.

User Experience designers and researching can impact the course of events by creating technology, products and services that are inclusive at their core.

Hope to see you all there :)

Location: will be decided later (in Khobar, or surrounding area)
