[uxgraz] 👋 UX Graz Updates - Post-Barcamp, Meetups, T-Shirts & More!

[UX Graz Community]

Hi everyone,

2 weeks have raced by since barcamp Graz 2023 and it's been a whirlwind of activity. Finally, I've found some peace to catch you up on all the exciting news and updates. So, let's dive right in! 👏

💖 HEARTFELT THANKS
Big thanks to everyone who came to Barcamp Graz. It was a blast! Loved meeting many of you in person.

📝 MY COMMUNITY SPIRIT
At barcamp Graz, again, some of you asked why I put so much time and energy into community events. And that’s why I decided to write a whole article about it https://medium.com/@jbeargraphics/the-unseen-magic-behind-community-events-a-glimpse-from-the-inside-20bc9b3c5406
Feel free to share it if you like it! Also, you can help me make it more visible on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jbeargraphics_the-unseen-magic-behind-community-events-activity-7062044864338636800-3hF5
And maybe some of you decide to join me on my journey…

👕 GET YOUR UX GRAZ T-SHIRT

PS: 
📝 UX AND DOG TRAINING?
In case you missed the session at barcamp Graz, that I held together with Patrick, I've written a follow-up article exploring the parallels between UX and Dog Training https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/unleashing-ux-what-dog-training-taught-me-about-user-experience-317aa6eea324
Again, if you like it, and want to help me make it more visible on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jbeargraphics_unleashing-ux-what-dog-training-taught-me-activity-7064927064390258689-m9sp
