NYC UXPA currently has over 450 annual members, and a mailing list of nearly 2,000. Most of our members are from New York and New Jersey. Members are not required to be official usability professionals; our membership includes information architects, visual designers, interaction designers, coders, marketing analysts, project managers, generalists, industrial designers, and director-level leaders. Our events also attract people from outside the internet industry such as knowledge management professionals, recruiters, and students.We host events approximately once a month, featuring speakers, panels, or workshops that cover topics related to the user experience industry. Event topics range from e-commerce to social media to research. Some events are introductory, and others are more of a deep-dive into a specific discipline, such as usability metrics or eye-tracking.
