Women in OpenSource UX Panel

Are you currently in the UX field or considering making a career move? Are you curious about user experience workflows in the context of open source community? In your professional journey, your success flows from your own achievements to your ability to mentor, influence and inspire others. What does it take to be perceived as an Open Source UX? Join our panelists to hear their insights about their own career paths, goals and lessons learned.

Attendees thinking of how to progress as an individual contributor, leader or manager in UX will be armed with advice on how to leverage their experiences and networks to identify where they want to go in their careers. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussion and ask questions.
