@jeffpass
UXPA DC and the DCUX conference has
evolved over the years and been known by
many names, but one thing that has been
consistent is a dedication to building and
serving the community of designers in the
Washington, DC metropolitan area.
We’re excited to share this look at how far
we’ve come since we started out as the
DC chapter of what was then the Usability
Professionals Association, and invite you to
join us in planning where we go next in 2020!
