Have you ever wanted to trade stories dealing with research challenges (with
difficult participants, team members, emergencies) and share how you shimmy
out of these situations? Want to share interviewing and improvisation skills
with new and experienced researchers?

Join Julie Ratner, Ph.D. Big Fish Games' Research Manager, in their new
Seattle offices (in lower Queen Anne) for a casual evening of
exchanging bloopers and practicing different techniques in small groups on
Tuesday, October 21 from 6:30 pm-9pm.

Light snacks will be provided, and a recruiting table will be provided for
networking and advertising open positions at Big Fish Games.
Attendees can also sign up for a guided tour of the newly built Big Fish
Games research labs.

This event is free to registered UPA (Usability Professional Association)
members. Non-members will be charged $5 to attend.

If you'd like to attend, RSVP by Oct 16th by emailing Robert Skrobe via
