Sync Up: Building Great UX on Product Teams
How to balance user needs with business goals
In April, Beyond UX challenged us to think bigger… to look beyond screens and deliverables, and explore the impact of UX on leadership, strategy, and growth.
Now, we’re taking it a step further.
Great UX isn’t just about good design—it’s the result of deep collaboration between product, design, and business.
If you're serious about growing your UX career or building stronger product teams, this is the room you want to be in.
Join us for SYNC UP, for an evening packed with honest conversations, actionable insights, and high-impact networking, from some of the sharpest voices in UX and product
At SYNC UP, We’re tackling the big questions:
Who really owns the product vision?
How do we balance user needs with business goals and tech feasibility?
What’s design’s role when timelines are tight?
And how do AI, agile methods, and shifting team dynamics shape the future of product teams?
