Kudos again to our organizers. I don't know how they could have designed a better meetup. ;-) So many great takeaways. Most impactful for me was that some, but not all of us, are professional designers; but we are all designers. I'm an accountant so not a professional designer....but...perhaps I am a professional designer. I design accounting systems and definitely a lot of financial models in excel. Improving the experience for these tools definitely helps the user. Perhaps more of us our professional designers than we realize. My other favorite takeaway was that there is always resistance to new technology no matter how good it is. Plato was not originally a fan of the invention of books because he couldn't argue with a book they way he could with a fellow human being. ”— Scott M.

“ This was my first and want more. My intention is to attend as many as I can from now on. ”— Masa K M.
