UXnet @ The Henry Ford’s “Out of this World”
Saturday, December 6, 2008
The Henry Ford, Dearborn, MI
Host: The User eXperience network (UXnet)
Date: Saturday, December 6, 2008
Time: 9:30am – 5:00pm
Location: The Henry Ford
Street: 20900 Oakwood Blvd
City/Town: Dearborn, MI
Help: buy cheap term papers to find answers about "The Henry Ford" when preparing the topic, or if you are not confident in your own competence for it
Visit to The Henry Ford with your User Experience colleagues. See the special exhibit “Out of this World” and other parts of the museum (and Greenfield Village if the weather is good). There MIGHT be a special time/place to meet your UX colleagues, but there might not. If we all go on the same day, we will run into each other as we visit the museum, and that may be enough.

Refresh Detroit “Show and Tell”
Wednesday, April 23
Ann Arbor Public Library
It’s our demo night, where people in the audience are invited to “show and tell” their latest creation, design, application, or a cool tool they’ve discovered that’s made their life easier. Each person has five minutes to present and answer questions. Demo night is a great opportunity to share your work, see what others have been working on, and get feedback on works in progress.
Interested in demoing your work? RSVP on the Refresh Detroit website.
