About this event

It’s the simplest interaction, an innocuous-seeming checkbox input — male or female. It’s an element that a designer may hardly think about, pulling from a library and dropping it in, never giving it another thought.

But what about our users who don’t fall into these categories?

Join our panelists as they discuss making our processes, products and workplaces more inclusive to all gender expressions.

$15

Scholarships are available.(Please email LadiesThatUXLA@gmail.com for more information).
