The Information Architecture Conference (IAC) recently wrapped up May 3rd, and we've got the inside scoop from the folks running what continues to be one of our favorite conferences. We spoke with Ashley Brewer, IAC25 co-chair, and Kyle Soucy, Career Center coordinator, on what to expect prior to the conference, why gathering in-person is critical in 2025, and how first-time attendees make the most of their experience.

This is our 72nd episode of UX in Real Life, but our first episode in the new, live format! In this episode, we chat about one of our favorite places—Japan! 🇯🇵 Based on our recent travels to Japan, we jump into the UX of everything from daily life to visiting and some of the quirky, well-intentioned user experiences.

Hi friends, Michelle and Mary Fran are, in true UX fasion, iterating on UX IRL! In the new year, we've got some fun annoucements for how the podcast is going to change. We'll share more details soon! In the mean time, we're releasing an episode on how to tackle tough interview questions.

We are taking a break this month to get ready for the holidays, and what better time to revisit Goal Setting! Get ready for our hot takes on New Year's resolutions and learn more about how we set goals. Hope everyone has a relaxing holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you in the new year!

We had a fantastic time hosting our Unconventional UX Blueprints workshop at UX Y'all this year! In this episode, we recap the workshop and the experience of engaging and building community. It was a truly fun and heartwarming experience. Take a listen and we'll be making the guidance available online soon!

UX Y'all is still working on getting us audio from our workshop, so no new episode this week, BUT we have a special re-release! This one is all about speaking at conferences, specifically using our talk from UX Y'all 2 years ago. Hope you enjoy!

We're kicking of Season 4! We have some fun updates to share about the UX IRL podcast. And UX Y'all will be here soon! We also share more about the workshop we're facilitating. While the conference is sold out, there's a waitlist you can join. But we hope to see you there!

In our S3 finale, we talk about how to set boundaries at work and our personal lives, and why it's especially tough for UXers to do this. 

Michelle and Mary Fran are taking a break this week, so enjoy this re-release all about Modified Delphi Card Sorting!
