Let's face it, UX Researchers don't do enough accessibility research. We have lots of good excuses, but now it's a legal requirement to make sure our applications are compliant with key accessibility standards.

Sheri Byrne-Haber has been an accessibility advocate and expert for years, and she's here to knock one excuse off our collective lists - knowing how to get started with the work in the first place.

One major critique of UX Research is that it's often "too obscure" to tie new insights back to the bottom line. How do qualitative insights translate into more growth or revenue for the company?

Molly and Lukas lead the research and experimentation teams at Booking.com, and they're here to share with you how they join forces to measure the impact of key qualitative learnings the research team uncovers.

Sourcing a tool to create a research repository is easy. Implementing a research repository in a way that's compliant with legal, is used in a consistent manner by researchers, and is accessed frequently and correctly by stakeholders... that's extremely hard.

Meg knows this first hard. Join Meg as she walks you through a six month process to fully implement a research repository where team members can contribute effectively, and stakeholders get real value. It's harder than it looks!

There's no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to leadership roles, and that holds especially true for research. So, how do you plan for and start practicing the approach to research leadership that's right for you?

Join Loi, former research leader at Facebook, Trip Advisor, and Buoy Health, to learn more about different approaches to managing a research function and how to figure out which one is meant for you.

We all know that research is an important component of a successful new product or feature, but what else can it do?

Over at Brex, Nicky and Kira teamed up to find a way to leverage research for Brex's rebranding efforts. Tun into this talk to learn more about how you can use research to find success on a rebrand.

Change is afoot in the research world. There's never been more researchers in the field than there are today, but, there's also never been as much research being done by non-researchers as there is today, either. What does that mean for research practitioners?

Molly Stevens, Director of Research at Booking.com, joins us to share what she believes is a path forward, not just for research as an activity, but for research practitioners as well.

Are personas bad tools? Or do they just have a bad reputation because they're being built wrong?

Amber and Carolina took a new approach to building personas, reimagining the data they contain, the way to build them, and the artifacts they produce. If you're looking for a better way to communicate information about your users, don't miss this step-by-step guide to persona building.

Too often, employees can be seen as just what we produce. And researchers produce research reports.

But we're a lot more than just report makers, and if we dig deep into our true roles, we'll understand just how important teaching, training and more are for our success. Join Behzod as he digs into a more holistic view of our job.

For those of us who've worked closely with engineers, we know they are of a different breed. Their tooling and workflows look unrecognizable compared to those of accounting, legal, finance, HR, or almost any other line of work.

That means our approach to doing research on developer tooling needs to adapt. Watch as Atikh shares his advice for doing research on the command line.

Prototypes and designs are multi-faceted. As researchers, often we're looking at the experience as a whole, but sometimes we need to get extra focused on one part of the experience. And sometimes, that part is copy.

In this talk, watch as Jennifer shares about why she thinks testing copy needs a new approach, and how she's been able to effectively evaluate copy in her own research.
