Let's Meet Up Virtually: UX Research Meetup & Event Guide August 2025

"This session covers the controversial topic of synthetic users—AI-powered personas you can create and interview.

While they can't replace human-based research, they can be a helpful addition to your research practice by helping you explore ideas, test early concepts, or build alignment across teams."

"This webinar features Devin Cygnar, CMO at Northwest Bank, and Josephine Moran, President & CEO at Ledyard Bank - two forward-thinking executives who will share how they’re turning research into results that drive innovation, loyalty, and cultural alignment. This discussion will offer real-world strategies and lessons you can apply in your own institution right away."

"AI has changed the game for UX research analysis.

But with how quickly everything is evolving, it’s fair to ask: are we using AI effectively and responsibly?

Join us for a session with Nick Babich where he'll share best practices, common pitfalls, and real-world examples of human-AI workflows that enhance speed, quality, and scale without sacrificing nuance or ethics!

*All registrants will receive the Meetup recording."

"In this talk Steven Roest discusses how he has helped ING transition from an IT-Driven approach to a Product-Led operating model by integrating design thinking into product management and IT processes. This session highlights how a design mindset can transform IT from a cost center into a collaborative force driving product innovation.
