UPA SYD

NEY - EVEN

TUPA Cabaret! is a fusion of old school Variety TV and Vaudeville with a whiff of Side Show Alley, minus the menacing musicals.

It's a fun, lively and engaging hour and a half of usability and user experience topics, presentations and activities. We promise... there's no singing, dancing or acrobatics!

Our 3 confirmed speakers for the night are: 1. The wonderful Jackie Moyes! YAY!

“Why I quit user centred design…but didn’t really” 2. The intriguing Mr Shane Morris! Woohoo! 3. The captivating Michelle Gilmore! ZOMG!

There will also be a whole lot of other things going on throughout the night - but we're keeping all that a surprise!

UPA Cabaret! is all about catching up with peers, learning something new, making connections, sharing information and most of all doing it in a fun, entertaining way.

You don't need to be a UPA member or even working in the field. Everyone is welcome. UPA Cabaret! is brought to you by Lisa Herrod, Jay Rogers, Tym Lawrence and Dean Wood from the Sydney Usability Chapter.
