Event Details

The UK UPA is happy to be hosting a Careers & Networking event on Thursday 25th February 2010 aimed at bringing together User Experience agencies, industry, practitioners and recruiters.

Time: 6.30 for 7pm
Venue: RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce) 8 John Adam Street, London, WC2N 6EZ

***Please note this new venue. Please use the entrance on The Strand, by the corner of Top Shop***  Map

The evening will give those seeking employment the chance to get to know more about potential employers, to get advice from specialist recruiters and to meet peers and colleagues in the industry. For those organisations seeking talent, they will have the chance to demonstrate their work, show why they are a great place to work and find out who is seeking their next move. For everyone it is an opportunity to network with peers across the industry.

Sponsors include Fortune Cookie, Cog App, Flow Interactive, Propel, Fjord, Electronic Ink, EMC Consulting, LBi, and Red Gate. They will be present and will be able to chat to you about what makes their company tick, and to show you the sort of projects they are involved with. Several more sponsors are still to be confirmed. If you are interested in being a sponsor please let us know via 'contact host' on this page.


********
The return of the Reverse Job Board
Following the success of the Reverse Job Board at last June's event it will be reprised. How it works:

Simply take an A5 piece of card, state what skills and experience you can offer and what kind of job/ company you’re looking for.

If you require anonymity then use an alias and make sure to let us know who you are so we can manage contact (via careers@ukupa.org.uk)

Let us know if you’re interested in being contacted by companies and/or recruitment consultants after the event and we shall do the rest

If you don’t have time to prepare a card before-hand, we’ll have some spares on the day.
