The UX Talk, launched in 2016, is held annually to celebrate IxDA’s presence in Belo Horizonte and reinforce our role in fostering local discussions on interaction design. This much-anticipated event brings top professionals from across Brazil to BH to discuss the latest trends and critical topics in the design world. With a mix of talks, workshops, and networking opportunities, UX Talk allows participants to stay current and expand their professional connections.
Purpose and Organization
The event is hosted by IxDA-BH, a non-profit community dedicated to promoting discussions around interaction design, bringing together designers, communication professionals, entrepreneurs, startups, and the tech industry. IxDA-BH’s mission is to connect and empower professionals through the exchange of experiences and practices that shape the market and drive continuous learning.
My Contribution
As a volunteer, I had the chance to work on the Communication and Logistics teams, playing a key role in creating a positive experience for participants. My involvement ranged from ticket sales to event day organization, including responsibilities like registration, managing talks and workshops, coordinating coffee breaks, and wrapping up with a closing happy hour. Each detail was designed to ensure an engaging and welcoming environment.
This was a rewarding experience, allowing me to contribute directly to the event’s quality and attendee satisfaction.
