During the June Ohio UX Encounter about 24 Hours of UX, we talked about how to keep track of all of the opportunities to attend online meetups, webinars, conferences, etc., in the age of Covid. (By the way, recordings of all 24 hours are now available.)

Places to look for more events
By no means complete and I won’t be able to keep up as more gets scheduled this month, and beyond. Above, I specifically did not list events by profit-focused organizations, for example. You may need to do some exploring on your own:
- Meetup groups that are adding entries linking to other group’s events: UXPA Los Angeles, SDXD (San Diego).
- “Master” calendars of UX events: CPHUX (Copenhagen), UX Stars.
- UXPA International’s upcoming chapter events & webinars and IxDA local events.
Places to look for more communities
Finding and figuring out the value of UX communities is another big challenge. Just dipping our toes in the water here…
- Local groups: Meetup.com “User Experience” topic, 24 Hours of UX participants.
- Curated lists of communities: UX Beginner, User Interviews.
A sample to get us started and trigger a discussion during the July 6th encounter, 7pm.
