The Hacking UI Master Class is a series of live conversations and lectures with experts in design and development about emerging technology and new frontiers.

Our goal is to force you to step outside of your comfort zone and expand your knowledge in areas that most professionals don’t get to touch upon in their day-to-day work. The world is quickly changing around us, and we want to help you get a glimpse of the bigger picture.

The series is streamed on CrowdCast so that you can watch it from anywhere. It is also highly participatory. You can ask your questions directly to the expert and chat with us live throughout the broadcast.

Each month we will bring a new expert to lecture on a different topic. Register for the series to get notified of upcoming classes and watch the recordings of past classes.
