This short video was taken during a UX Bookclub meeting in Delft, the Netherlands on June 25th 2009. Since I work as a User Experience Designer in my daily life, I thought that it would be nice to meet some others by attending these meetings and giving us a chance to talk shop.

Our chapter was set up by Jeroen van Geel and Bette Burger. Jeroen and Bette who both work for Fabrique were so kind as to invite everyone over to their office. After a quick round of introduction from the co-ordinators and a cool beer to beat down the heat, the meeting got started. We took took tuns introducing ourselves. There was a nice mix of people attending ranging from interaction designers to industrial designers. As far as experience was concerned, it was nice to see the professionals mix with recent college/university graduates.

As discussions got livelier a decision was made to move the talks to the garden of the Frabrique office. A, still, warm summer’s evening was a great setting for the first UX Bookclub meeting in Delft and after having decided which book to focus on for our next meeting the meeting slowly came to an end. We drank another beer, talked off-topic and then we parted our ways. A big thank you to Fabrique’s Jeroen and Bette for hosting the meeting and for supplying the beer…
