About UX Y’all

UX Y’all is the annual conference hosted by the Triangle UXPA, a North Carolina chapter of the User Experience Professionals Association. The conference is fully planned and operated by a team of volunteers. It was started in 2018 to further support and highlight the Triangle’s community of UXers.

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring UXers together to share their knowledge and expertise. We strive to be welcoming to all, with a variety of speakers and attendees.

Because we are focused on the Triangle NC community, our session speakers are primarily from our region, but we welcome UXers from anywhere to join us in North Carolina!

HUMAN. BY DESIGN.

Theme

Human. By Design.

From optimized to understood.

We’re living through the most automated moment in history. Systems are infinitely faster and relentlessly logical. Built to optimize, not to understand. Built by us, but rarely for us. Humans aren’t logical or linear. We change our minds. We bring context, emotion, and contradiction into everything we do. We don’t behave the way systems expect us to. And we’re not supposed to.

As systems get better at efficiency, the gap between what’s built and what people actually need grows. That’s not a flaw to work around.

That’s the work — and it’s always been ours.
