Birmingham Experience Design

BHXD organise and host regular events giving a focal point to help build our user-centred design community in Birmingham. It is by the community, for the community. Meaning that we have sponsors, but we are ‘organised’ (loosely) by a mixed bunch of folks from a number of organisations in Birmingham and the Midlands. Our objectives are to provide the UCD community: - Knowledge sharing - Opportunity to network - Greater profile and confidence - Increased visibility Our Principles Inclusive Accessible and open to everyone Diverse A balanced and varied pool of speakers from backgrounds which reflect the diversity of Birmingham as a city Transparent Be clear about our relationship with sponsors and how we spend their money Innovative Experiment with format Inspiring people should leave with a spring in their step and walk into work the next day feeling either good about their job, or at least positive about the industry. User-centred Apply the same practices we do in our work and iterate, respond to our users Democratic By the people, for the people
