UX Research Leaders

If you are a UX research manager, director, or leader, there’s a new group just for leaders to meet, network, and share ideas. We invite you to be among the first to attend UXr Leaders and begin reaping the benefits professionally and personally.

Your organization may benefit from the insights and recommendations of other leaders, helping you arrive at better solutions faster.
You may benefit personally from an expanded network, career opportunities, and offers to collaborate on projects. A vibrant community of peers provides many options.
Peer networks can be very beneficial. with a small investment of time, as peers share how they address research, staffing, and career challenges.
Your experience and expertise may be helpful to others in the group.
This is a volunteer-led organization with no fees.

We hope you’ll join with us — we look forward to meeting you.
