\"UXHere\u2019s a cool idea: you\u2019re just a phone call or two away from hosting a one-day UX mini-conference in your hometown.<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s simple: find a local sponsor or two to cover the venue and the ticket for our next virtual event\u2014UX Futures<\/a><\/strong>\u2014and invite your local UX pals. Network, recruit, and learn\u2014just like they\u2019ve done in Detroit, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio<\/a>. (Some simple instructions follow.)<\/p>\n

If you bring UX Futures to your town, you\u2019ll be rubbing virtual shoulders with an incredible lineup of UX stars: Steve Krug, Jesse James Garrett, Margot Bloomstein, Nathan Shedroff, Abby Covert, <\/b>and Andy Polaine. <\/b>This November 5, they\u2019ll present six mind-expanding visions of the future of the field<\/a> and the impact it will have on the world\u2014and on us.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is find the sponsors and get the word out to your community. Here\u2019s how:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find sponsors<\/strong> to provide a venue good for 50-100 attendees, projection, snacks, and the price of a group ticket (US$479).<\/li>\n
  2. Publicize to your network<\/strong> and charge (using Eventbrite or Meetup) a nominal fee (we suggest US$20 to cover snacks or maybe light meals) to attend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why do this?<\/b><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s a fantastic way to bring people together for networking as well as learning in a way that goes beyond simple happy hours and other social activities. During breakfast, lunch, and the day\u2019s breaks, your attendees will naturally meet and talk. And it\u2019s also a great way to meet your next boss\u2014or your next hire.<\/p>\n

    Why sponsor?<\/b><\/p>\n

    Aside from generating good will and aiding the local community, sponsors can invite staff and clients to participate and learn, and use the event as a recruiting opportunity. Given that sponsors often already have meeting space to provide\u2014and you to help with getting the word out\u2014it\u2019s an inexpensive way to make a local impact.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s how Rosenfeld Media will help<\/b><\/p>\n

    To make this even more attractive, we\u2019d be glad to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Mention and link to your local group and your sponsors on the event web site<\/li>\n
    2. Mention your group in our social media (with a combined reach of about 80,000)<\/li>\n
    3. Provide a full set of Rosenfeld Media\u2019s UX digital books<\/a> (currently 21 titles) to raffle off to a lucky attendee<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Interested? Please let us know<\/a>\u2014we\u2019d love to do what we can to bring this great UX event to your community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
