Great content, important topic, but after a long day at work, I found it difficult to stay put through the whole thing. Speaker only had my undivided attention until about 7:45.
— Brian Williams
So much useful information in such short amount of time. My brain overload today. Will definitely start using some of these practices on day to day projects.
— Brad E.
Very informative & eye opening presentation! Zoe knows her stuff.

Great group of knowledgeable & friendly people. I'm new to the area and this was my first time attending a meetup with this group. Looking for to future meetups.
— Mark Pappalardo
Very fun discussion!
— John Dozier
great discussion on implications of The Filter Bubble. Balanced interaction of participants. I was skeptical when I read chosen topic. After reading and discussing the topic, I changed my viewpoint and recognized how this fits into our work

was hoping for more of a focus on remote testing.
— John Dozier
I thought that Steve did an excellent job explaining the importance and tactics behind user testing. The live demo was both scary (for the team behind the epicenter movie theater's site - yikes!) and incredibly useful to showcase what can go right, and what can go wrong during a live interaction. More importantly, Steve demonstrated how to handle unexpected issues during a session.
— Matt Cheney
This was super informative and engaging. Steve knows his stuff, but more importantly knows how to explain it and I think got the group pretty hyped about usability testing. Doing a live demo I think was really helpful too - it was the cherry on top. I appreciated him taking the time out to present!

Fantastic event, looking forward to another Grok soon
— Stuart Smith
had a great time; wish i could have stayed for the afternoon. for my part, i wish i had done a better job of facilitating conversation on my topic instead of treating it like a lecture, but i thought the other facilitators were fantastic.
— Christian Manzella
Truly mind-blowing. The topics ranged all over the place, from UX to gender issues to creativity sparks. The conversations, of course were the main attraction, and they excelled. The people were fascinating: bright, passionate and all types. They made we wish I were smarter.
— Bill Fleet
I felt like it went a little long in the afternoon session. It might be fun to just to a shorter but more frequently.
