Foreword by Nick Cochrane

UX People is a non-profit making event that celebrates the UK’s place at the forefront of the field. User Experience opinion formers give stimulating talks, lead in-depth workshops and share industry insights. The event puts an emphasis on all the amazing work being delivered in Britain and the challenges, solutions and practicalities faced by UX designers. As well as the learning opportunities we want to help gain global recognition for the most creative and inspiring speakers and projects on these shores.

We’re delighted the 4th UX People was such a success. It never ceases to delight me how generous the speakers are. Most of the people involved are not being paid for the event. When you consider the effort required I would like to take this opportunity to thank Christopher Lee Ball, Jonty Sharples, Mel McVeigh and Cennyd Bowles for their thought provoking presentations. And then the fantastic workshops in the afternoon delivered by Martin Belam, Mel McVeigh (with only 3 hours notice!), Louise Oakham and Oli Shaw. And of course the attendees, for tackling the discussions and workshop challenges with such enthusiasm.
