About

In 2022, we created a new one-day Women in UX event called Succeeding in Design. Succeeding in Design is an extension of our Women in UX initiative, aimed at increasing the number of women represented at design events and in the workplace. 

Our goal is to support every woman to kick huge goals and become a design leader in whatever way they choose, so we’ve designed this event to do just that. Succeeding in Design is an opportunity to focus fully on yourself and work on the skills you need to accelerate your design career. Learn how to influence, lead and negotiate in your workplace, and assert yourself as a design expert.

Succeeding in Design 2023 will take place on:

  • Melbourne, Thursday 18 May

The #SiD2023 program will include:

  • Keynote from an inspirational women leader to be announced

  • Peer talks from our community of women designers about the tools, case studies and techniques they use to make their work better

  • Workshops focused on hands-on and practical exercises 

  • Networking and social activities

Check out the Succeeding in Design 2022 highlights and see what attendees had to say about the event! 

“The theme was on point and relevant to the community. Workshop spoke to the theme. Took some great nuggets away.”

“The entire session was full to the brim of actionable advice to bring home. It didn't feel forced and was both cathartic and entertaining.”

“Succeeding in Design is a wonderful event for UX practitioners of all levels. Invigorating workshops and presentations, and a chance to connect with design peers to share knowledge and know-how. “

“I really enjoyed the diversity of the presenters both in experience and content.”

Women in UX was created between UX Australia and UX career coach Mags Hanley. We run free, monthly online meetups discussing varying topics and exercises to help you accelerate in the workplace. Learn more about Women in UX.
