🎟 Why This Fits Our “Inspire & Connect” Theme:
We believe the future of UX is built on two pillars:
Inspire — Hearing from those who’ve pushed through uncertainty and redefined what’s possible in design.
Connect — Engaging directly with peers and leaders who can help you see new perspectives and open new doors.
The Industry Panel is where inspiration meets action. You’ll leave not just motivated, but armed with the knowledge, strategies, and connections to make your next big career move with confidence.
