July Event – Whit Hour LIVE Featuring Whitney Hess

By admin in Events No Comments

Whit Hour is an open office hour where independent User Experience consultant Whitney Hess answers many of the emails she receives around going freelance, how to transition to UX, life in NYC, and her thoughts on the overlap between real life and UX practice. Whitney doesn’t prepare topics for her conversations and takes questions as they come from the chat room which, in this case, will be you the audience! Come prepared with any questions you might have for Whitney as we relax with her after her presentation at the Wharton UI Conference.

Time: 6 PM – 8:30 PM (Social time & Announcements from 6-6:30)
