NYC UXPA currently has over 450 annual members, and a mailing list of nearly 2,000. Most of our members are from New York and New Jersey. Members are not required to be official usability professionals; our membership includes information architects, visual designers, interaction designers, coders, marketing analysts, project managers, generalists, industrial designers, and director-level leaders. Our events also attract people from outside the internet industry such as knowledge management professionals, recruiters, and students. We regularly host networking events, featuring speakers, panels, or workshops that cover topics related to the user experience industry. Event topics range from e-commerce to social media to research and more. Some events are introductory, and others are more of a deep-dive into a specific discipline, such as usability metrics or eye-tracking.
