To kick off Advancing Research, Taylor Klassman, Director of UX Research at Dscout, will lead an interactive session on the 2025 State of UX Research through the lens of the Four Pillars of Controlling Our Destiny: Purpose, People, Process, and Progress. Through live discussions and Miro, we’ll explore how these pillars shape the field, influence our work, and empower us to navigate the evolving UX research landscape. Expect an engaging conversation on the strategic role of research, fostering collaboration, emerging methodologies, and measuring impact—all key to driving meaningful innovation in 2025 and beyond.
