UX Research Leaders

If you are a UX research manager, director, or leader, there’s a new group just for leaders to meet, network, and share ideas. We invite you to be among the first to attend UXr Leaders and begin reaping the benefits professionally and personally.

  • Your organization may benefit from the insights and recommendations of other leaders, helping you arrive at better solutions faster.
  • You may benefit personally from an expanded network, career opportunities, and offers to collaborate on projects. A vibrant community of peers provides many options.
  • Peer networks can be very beneficial. with a small investment of time, as peers share how they address research, staffing, and career challenges.
  • Your experience and expertise may be helpful to others in the group.
  • This is a volunteer-led organization with no fees.

We hope you’ll join with us — we look forward to meeting you.

Research Leaders Forum

Join Lija Hogan and three remarkable leaders in the UX research field who will share their experience working at some of the top brands in the world. Lija will facilitate a panel discussion with Marieke McCloskey, from LinkedIn; Janelle Estes, from Bentley University (ex-UserTesting); and Marta Rey-Babarro, from Zillow.

The panel will explore how gender data gaps impact design and user experiences across industries and highlight the ways in which data bias can lead to unintended exclusionary practices. In her book, Perez produces a preponderance of evidence that when female-related factors disappear from data sets, the effects of “living in a world built around male data” can range from irritating to life-threatening. She also offers hope when she states: “When women are involved in decision-making, in research, in knowledge production, women do not get forgotten.”
