New Seattlers UX Fishbowl

Theme – Experiencing the city through the lens of new Seattlers, and their hopes and dreams for the future.

This will be a unique tapestry of insights into Seattle as seen through the user experience of people from across the world who have made this city their new home. The moderated session will explore experiences across a wide range of topics, including the high’s and low’s of their early years in the city. The session will appeal to old Seattle residents as well, who will get great value from listening to the stories of panelists as the city changes with the times.  Besides taking in the experiences that brought them here, the panel will also explore the future they dream of for the city and what they see as the big challenges we need to overcome on the way there. Hopefully valuable take-away’s for city leaders of all kinds!
