Co-Lab Continued (Event) by dscout

If there’s one event you should actually make time for this year, it’s this one. On November 12-13, dscout is bringing together some of the sharpest minds in research and design—folks from Disney, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Headspace, and more—for two days of no-BS conversations about where UX is headed next. The sessions dig into the stuff we’re all wrestling with right now: how to keep the human side of research alive while AI eats everything, how to make decisions that actually move the business, and how to lead through uncertainty without burning out. You’ll get live Q&As, candid insights, and a reminder of why our work still matters in a field that’s changing faster than we can write a discussion guide. It’s free, it’s virtual, and it’s the smartest way to refill your tank before heading into another year of “doing more with less.”
