UX Summit by Mind Map: UX Summit

1. Food

1.1. Lunch

1.1.1. + Timely service

1.1.2. ^ Quality could have been better, perhaps other vendors?

1.2. Dinner

1.2.1. + Fancy dinner was excellent

1.2.2. ^ Unscheduled dinners were chaotic and could be exclusive. Need clearer guidelines on getting groups together for dinners

2. Group Interaction

2.1. ^ FxOS team seemed disconnected and not fully participating, would be good to figure a way to ensure everyone can

2.2. ^ More time interacting (workshops?) with other groups outside of your own team

2.3. + Great to get to know everyone from other teams

2.4. ^ Focus on connecting people who aren't normally part of the conversation, remotees, people outside our team

2.5. ^ More front end devs should be included!

3. Sharing current work

3.1. ^ More updates on what teams are working on

3.2. ^ More time spent sharing tools and processes of different teams

3.3. + Seeing teams present their work was really interesting and want more of that

4. Planning

4.1. ^ At least 4 weeks heads up for location and dates so people can be better prepared

4.2. ^ Leadership could set better expectations at the beginning for goals of the week

4.3. ^ Closing activity to wrap up and continue to set expectations for take away from trip / further thoughts

5. Travel

5.1. ^ Weekend travel leaves people weary, perhaps weekday travel or recommendations for getting time off?

5.2. ^ Jetlag needs to be factored in better for next time

5.3. + Fun locations add to the excitement

6. London

6.1. Office

6.1.1. + Excellent space

6.2. Accommodations

6.2.1. ^ A little far from the office, perhaps a single direct tube line to the office even at a greater distance

6.2.2. + Good to see a different neighborhood

6.2.3. + Being near public transit was essential and awesome

6.2.4. Apartment style

6.2.4.1. + Really like the style for these longer stays

6.2.4.2. ^ If more expensive then perhaps another venue (hotel) where we have a group social area we can use

6.2.4.3. + Good for socializing after work

6.2.4.4. ^ Heads up to the apartment style, many people weren't aware of lack of cleaning service etc.

6.2.5. ^ Multiple issues with the rooms and service, perhaps better accommodation of same style?

6.3. City

6.3.1. + Great location for a UX Summit

6.3.2. + Architectural tour was excellent

6.3.3. ^ Use the location for more group exploring activities related to design

6.3.4. ^ If we're in an exciting location we should use that more in our planning instead of being in an office

7. Schedule

7.1. + Better than UX Summit 2012, more free time

7.2. ^ More breakout time, split discussion and break out days to vary activities

7.3. ^ Split up workshops into 2 half days so it's less intense time

7.4. ^ Front load lighter activities to allow people to recover from jetlag and then more intense thinking workshops later in the week

7.5. Monday

7.5.1. + Excellent lineup of talks

7.6. Tuesday

7.6.1. ^ Too busy, long day. Split up workshops with break before evening event

7.6.2. ^ Workshop could have been broken up considering exhaustion level of people

7.6.3. + Larissa's talk was excellent, well prepared, and really worthwhile

7.6.4. + Community gathering was great

7.7. Friday

7.7.1. + Unconference was great format

7.7.2. + Would love to have more time like this, even planned time for schedule cross-team work

7.8. Saturday

7.8.1. + Jaime ran an excellent session with art tour and themed brainstorming

7.8.2. + Group outing to Bletchley Park was fun
