SOFLUX

The South Florida User Experience Meet-up

I created the South Florida UX Meet-up group out of my own craving for local networking in the UX Industry. I started it in a coffee shop in 2008 hoping someone would come. Starting with only a only a few attendees it grew it into something I could have never have imagined.

Creating a Community

10 years later we have over 1,200 members and meet every month to discuss different topics sparking conversation in the UX community. We have had speakers from every level and caliber and encourage those in our group to get involved with content they are working on, and sharing their experiences with others to help us all grow. The group now has 3 co-organizers who help me manage the events and is sponsored by O'Reilly Media and Ultimate Software. We have a close relationship with many local tech companies in the area and partner with other groups on events to help broaden our reach and the overall success of the community.
