BarCamp Session at UXcamp Europe

 

UXcamp Europe is one the of the largest BarCamps for User Experience Professionals. Once a year in Berlin, more than 500 participants from such diverse disciplines as Information Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Development, Interaction & Interface Design, Service Design, Content Strategy, Psychology and Usability meet to discuss the latest developments and current challenges of their shared field of work. The event is held since 2009, planned by a team of local UX enthusiasts. The specific format of the conference is a BarCamp - an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. On each of this year's two conference days, 60 sessions took place - each of which was fully booked.

I had the honour to moderate one of the BarCamp sessions together with my fellow colleagues: Claudia Wulf, owner, NAKAMA Germany and Asta Baumöller, owner, MELT.MEDIA RECRUITMENT. The aim was to give the audience an overview of the current market situation and at the same time provide a better insight into the diversity and value of the design recruiting service. The title of our session: ‘Headhunter Secrets’.

Our session, especially the lively discussion, was a fantastic experience. Thank you Mayra Bautista for fantastic graphic recordings (see below).

The enormous variety of topics and especially the numerous sessions, that have substantially dealt with with the development of UX design, the future of the industry, but also with the integration of design into business processes and design operations, characterized this UXcamp. A big thank you to the organization team! Here's a video that captures the atmosphere of the event in a great way. A collection of the slides from the individual sessions can be found here as Google Doc.
