Hosted by the Watershed in Bristol’s harbourside, this is a brilliant place for a digital sabbatical to plot your next app or world-changing wearable device.

Bristol & Bath UX

A group of likeminded UXers, both from companies and individual specialists, have come together to work out how Bristol and Bath could be doing UX better-differently (that’s a new word). If you’d like to contribute to this UX think-and-do-tank with your intellect and time then add yourself to the mailing list here.
