Over 400 people joined this panel. Sabrina Duda and the other panelists discussed the most used and most mis-used terms in UX research, how to keep up to date with UXR Vocabulary, and when it is most important to align on the meaning of UX terms. Understanding how to communicate is critical in UX research. This allows to share knowledge properly with stakeholders, colleagues and the UX research community.
Feedback from the organiser: "I can't begin to quantify the responses from people as to how insightful the session was. Your years of research, your depth of understanding of UXR, and your ability to present the subject in such an interesting way produced one of the most memorable evenings we've ever had."
