How do you make the most use of your face-to-face time with your client and lay the groundwork for a successful project?
Allison will outline how to get the most out of the kickoff meetings that initiate any project. She’ll talk about pre-meeting preparation and how to keep organized, and also give some tips on agenda creation, how to keep meetings productive (and fun), and what steps need to be taken once the meetings adjourn.
Competitive Analysis: Your UX must-have on a budget, by Michelle Jackson

Michelle will cover how competitive analysis can help you avoid competitor pitfalls, gain insight into what your users want, and lead to better decision-making before you invest in and implement new designs and technical features.
