Let’s Reconnect
A Look Back at the Dublin UX and Product Elevation Event of 2022
In 2022, Dublin UX and Product Elevation hosted a memorable joint live event, generously supported by Intercom. The event marked a grand reunion, welcoming back attendees after a long hiatus.
The event kicked off with refreshments before the first speaker took to the stage at 6:45pm.
The event was packed with insightful talks from industry experts. Kevin Devine, Design Director at NearForm, opened the event with a continuation of his 2020 fireside chat on remote working and collaboration. Other speakers included Dan Makoski, Chief Design Officer at UnitedHealth Group; Khaoula Ben Khaled, UX Lecturer & Researcher at ISAMM (Tunisia) & LARSH Laboratory at UPHF (France); and Coca Pitzer, Cloud Product Manager & Agile Transformation Lead at Zurich Insurance, who shared a fascinating story about the dance between Product Management and Design.
The event also featured giveaways, including tickets for the upcoming Product Elevation conference in November. Intercom kindly provided beverages and pizza before the event kicked off.
The event concluded with a community moment and giveaways, followed by an optional post-event MeetUp at The Well, where attendees were invited to continue networking.
Looking back, the Dublin UX and Product Elevation event of 2022 was a testament to the thriving UX and product community in Dublin, offering a platform for learning, networking, and collaboration.

Continued Tales from the Field
Kevin Devine, Design Director, NearForm.
When Kevin joined us in 2020 we made Dublin UX history; he was our first person to address us remotely and he was our last speaker to address an in person audience prior to lock down. We had to invite Kevin back as our first speaker to continue his fireside chat from 2020 which was focused on remote working and collaboration. We will catch up on how his working style may have changed and how he and his team was uniquely set up to thrive.
Kevin is Design Director with NearForm based in Tara, Co. Meath. Over the past 16 years he has worked with some of Ireland's leading international companies. He works at NearForm with remote colleagues throughout the world delivering world class solutions for global clients. Kevin will join us in person.
