User Research Friday is a casual half-day conference brought to you by the gentle folks at Bolt | Peters. We bring user research experts together for advanced discussion, beverages, relaxed learning, and heavy socializing. Past attendees have included design, UX, and research superstars from organizations including IBM, Google, Nokia, HP, Stanford, Genentech, Intuit, Schwab, Williams-Sonoma, Cooper, Adaptive Path, Frog Design, SAP, Intel and hundreds more.
$75. Expensive standing room ticket you say? Maybe, but you still get a spot at the half-day event, and possibly a chair - we just can't guarantee a seated position due to a larger than anticipated response. We may open up the balcony for some serious downward-viewing perspective, but there are no chairs up there. You also get 15% off all Rosenfeld Media books, and up to 50% off Optimal Workshop, Loop11, and Ethnio research tools.
You can watch almost the whole last conference over on Vimeo (not that you would, but you could).
All conference attendees receive a 15% discount on all Rosenfeld Books
Optimal workshop is extending the amazing UX Bundle offer to all attendees.
C'mon, we make this thing, and it's also part of the UX Bundle offer to all attendees.

In 2006, around 140 people came out to listen to user research topics and grab drinks

The co-author of the brand new in 2010 Rosenfeld Media book, Remote Research, will be presenting. It's the first book on online user research methods written in the history of humankind.

Well congratulations, my fine scrolling friends. You've made it to the last box. This one is for all the students out there. Well, five students, to be specific. What is this, SXSW, you say? No, but we could still use five student volunteers to help run this bad boy. For 1-2 hours of work, you'll get 2-3 hours of conference time. NOT BAD.
