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.

Research Leaders Forum

UX and product professionals have been trying to ’swim upstream’ for decades. Even though we have data to prove the value of our work, we still don’t have the influence and seat-at-the-table that we need to help our companies create products people love to use (and are happy to pay for).

Tamara Adlin, a product and UX expert, has a new perspective on this problem and a new practical way to solve it. We have to understand what life is like for senior stakeholders and executives. We have to tune into the game of telephone they play with each other and know that ‘being on the same page’ never actually happens. We have to see the impact of executive misalignment from the top down.

Tamara will introduce us to her solution and a new set of practical tools to create Executive Alignment in Five Conversations. She will show us a new way to create and use ‘alignment personas’ to rethink strategy, create a user-centered vocabulary and define goals and priorities that stick throughout your projects.

Please join us on Thursday, August 15, 2024 | 11 am PT | 2 pm ET

This event is designed for those in leadership roles such as Research, Design, or Product Managers, Directors, etc. The Research Leaders Forum is presented by the UX Researchers’ Guild: https://uxrguild.com/

Once per quarter, we gather research leaders for a virtual meeting to discuss common challenges. We feature research leaders sharing lessons learned from their research and highlighting challenges they have faced and how they have addressed them. Each forum features a presentation, discussion, and networking with other leaders.

Attendance is limited to research leaders (managers, directors, etc.) based in the U.S. or Canada.
