Uxdx Sydney: Design Research and AI In Action

Two talks on research ops at scale and designers as founders, plus a room of product and UX people navigating how AI changes their work.

Weiyan Chee from Bupa opens with a talk on the operational side of research that most teams ignore until it breaks, showing how ResearchOps infrastructure lets design organisations scale without drowning in process overhead. Then Faria Anzum, founder of Orbbit, explores why designers are uniquely positioned to start companies when AI is reshaping how products get built. The evening is structured around two focused talks with built-in networking time, designed for the product, UX, design, and dev people in the room who are actively figuring out how to work differently. Expect a practical crowd asking real questions about tools, recruitment, ethics, and whether your current workflows will survive the next six months.
