[uxgraz] UX Graz Community October/November 2020 Update

Tue Oct 27 23:15:41 CET 2020

Hi Folks!

First of all, I would love to say welcome our newest active members in the community and thank our international support.

It is awesome to see our community growing so fast and this would not be possible without your support! So a big thank you to our UX Graz Community! 

If you aren’t already actively involved but also want to support our family and have some time left, feel free to contact me via email <email at johannes-lehner.at <mailto:email at johannes-lehner.at> > or reach out form e via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jbeargraphics/ . Everyone who wants to support us is welcome – even if you just have 5 minutes a day 😉

*** UXGraz Community Update ***

*	SAVE THE DATE: UXMas is coming to Graz again! December 15th 2020 we will have our last meetup this year! Since we don’t know yet, if we can have a local event, we did not announce an event yet. However, no matter if it’s local or online, we would love to meet many of you at our second UXMas 😉
*	Hannes Robier and Daniel Fabry provided us the opportunity to present the UX Graz community in a „UX Business meets FH Joanneum“ session. I talked about the past events – how the UX scene started in Graz years ago and presented the first year as growing UX Graz Community. And besides new followers and one active supporter, we also won a new sponsor for next years meetup! Hopefully, we can stay in touch with the universities and especially the students in Graz more closely!
*	We are having our second Books’n’Beer on Thursday. Due to the current situation, we had to postpone it twice and move it to an online event. But, no worries! As soon as it is possible, Konny will organize a local event again!
*	In our second UX Graz Fireside Chat, two really awesome guests will talk about their experience in the UX grassroots and why they put so much effort in it and what benefits they get out of it. The guests, Peter and Jesse, were also responsible for the 24 Hours of UX ( https://24hoursofux.com/ ), a 24 hour uninterrupted live meetup bringing local UX communities to a global audience in June 2020.

*	A second big event is coming up in November. UX Graz is supporting this years World Usability Day Austria. Since it is not possible to have a local UX Day in Graz this year, the Austrian UX communities joined forces and organized one single event together. The UX Graz Community supports the FH Joanneum in organizing this amazing event! Thanks to Elmar Krainz, Johannes Feiner, and Konrad Baumann for keeping this event as constant event in Graz!
