Howdy Chicago Camps friends!

Welcome to 2020! We hope the new year is off to a great start for you–and we’re already excited about out great events line up for this year!

We have ​three events​ on the docket for this year, with our awesome host at Columbia College:

• May 30th – UX Camp Spring, canceled due to COVID-19
• August 5-7th – Leadership By Design​, ​workshops on August 5th will be available soon!
• October 17th – UX Camp Fall, now accepting submissions to present!

Howdy Chicago Camps friends!

2019 is upon us and we’re super excited to share our schedule for this year with you. As you may know, we have “Camps” which typically are 1-day mini-conferences on a Saturday. In 2019, we’re going to have one of these...

Design Leadership, to quote Amy Jiménez Marquez, can either be something you plan for, or it can sneak up on you. Whether you’ve planned for it or it was something that caught you by surprise, it’s always great to learn from, and lean on, the experience...

Improving Your Design Leadership Skills

Here at Chicago Camps, we’ve scoured the internet to review a whole bunch of the best (and frankly, the worst) “Convince Your <Boss>” posts so that we could not start our first one from scratch. Then we refined that to be more specific toward Design, and we found some results that considered a lot of things we would be remiss if we overlooked, so we’ve mashed together a bunch of the key themes from all of those other posts to make this one better.

BLUF / TLDR (Bottom Line Up Front / Too Long Didn’t Read):

• If you don’t live in Chicago, it can cost you $917 - $1,504ish to attend our design leadership conference Prototypes, Process & Play.
• You’re going to learn and enhance your design leadership skills from deeply experienced professionals leading the design field, learn practical approaches to solving the problems you face today, network with others who can help you after the event, and save a lot of money over other events.
• Our schedule is amazing and says a lot on its own!
• There’s a letter that you can copy/paste and update to send to whomever you need to convince at the bottom, if you need it.
• There’s a discount code at the bottom, too!

Feel free to submit a talk to UX Camp or purchase tickets to UX Camp and/or Prototypes, Process & Play. (Really great early rates right now!)
