What our participants say
"For me, UX Scotland is such a friendly and welcoming conference. It's about meeting old friends and making new ones. I find out about new techniques, and get fresh ideas about how to look at a bit of work. I encourage my team to go as it's a place to meet people who practice in the same field, and hear how they apply techniques in their workplace. Everyone there has something to share, and something to learn."
- Clare Barnett, Lead Designer, Registers of Scotland
"Everyone I saw present or I chatted with was focused on learning and there were no big egos, which is refreshing. I also noticed there were lots of repeat attendees returning for 3 or even 5 years in a row. Based on that alone, I highly recommend attending if you have a chance."
Tricia Okin, Lead User Experience and Service Designer
