UXnet Information

UXnet provided access to people and knowledge across the user experience community. We tried to provide the infrastructure, tools and information to increase awareness and accelerate the growth and value of user experience. Over the years, we supported a network of local ambassadors and other local leaders, who promoted a cross-disciplinary view of UX and served their local UX community in many different ways. "Think global, act local. We maintained a calendar to help aggregate local meetings, conferences, training and other events to help bridge the gaps across different aspects of UX. We worked with different professional organizations to help them collaborate with other groups (sometimes as simple as hosting a meeting at one association's conference to help them connect with people from other associations). We also explored ways to establish a "volunteer currency" for the UX community and how to build a UX directory to act as the foundation for it. We defined User Experience (abbreviated: UX) as the quality of experience a person has when interacting with a specific design. This can range from a specific artifact, such as a cup, toy or website, up to larger, integrated experiences such as a museum or an airport.
