About this event Nova Scotia is becoming one of Canada's leading technology and innovation hubs. For the first time in generations, Nova Scotians can stay where they love (no offense, Ontario), and the best and brightest from other parts of the country and around the world are flocking to Canada's ocean playground. Building on this momentum, FreshBooks -- a Canadian-founded global tech unicorn -- is putting down roots in Nova Scotia with a goal of hiring at least 50 new FreshBookers across Research & Development, Sales, Customer Support, and more in the coming years. To celebrate, FreshBooks has teamed up with Halihax to bring the city's technology community together on November 10th in a truly Nova Scotian way -- for a kitchen party on the waterfront. This event will bring local technology and business leaders together to meet, socialize, and learn from one another: Jeff Andersen, co-founder of Halihax, will introduce the Halihax organization, history of the community, and give a first look at the results from the 2022 Halihax Community Survey. Amanda Jacob (Design), Richard Schaefer (Engineering), and Carmine De Leon (Product Management) from FreshBooks will share the ups (and downs) of building one of the company's newest product […]

Details 👋🏻 We cannot believe it. We're at the last UX Salon Halifax meetup of 2022. Thank you to all those who have supported us, both virtually and in person! It's been so wonderful to connect with our community again. Join us on Tuesday, November 29th at 7:30 PM as we hear and learn from Dr. Simon Landry, a Senior UX Researcher with Thomson Reuters. The aim of UX is to meet the end user's needs through the best experience possible. Often, the best way to understand the end user's needs is through UX research (UXR). However, for UXR (and the product) to reach its full potential, research must only be the start of a process that goes from insight to impact. In this talk, we’ll explore a new 6-step framework to guide UXR insights to measurable end-user impact. This presentation will share how to identify and fill gaps in product knowledge, effectively communicate your insights, and measure your impact on the end user. You will learn about the theory and practice to feel confident using the framework. Simon is a researcher with over a decade of experience working on human perception. His background includes a Ph.D. in human perception, […]

About this event Why the %$#& do I need to worry about marketing? If you aren’t thinking about or planning to add marketing to your overarching strategy, your business will fail. If you’re executing marketing tactics without a strategy, your business will stall and stagnate. If you aren’t tracking and reacting to your marketing efforts, you’re wasting money. This workshop will be a no-nonsense discussion around marketing, and offer attendees a guideline to develop an effective, impactful, and results driven marketing strategy that can evolve with the growth of any business. We will dive into how important marketing is to the success of all areas of your organization; how it is ingrained in both acquisition and retention approaches; and how to recognize and react to both success and/or failure. We will explore 3 key components of any successful marketing strategy – brand, customer and category. Each extremely important, and something every organization needs to continually focus on. We will also offer insight, advice and a framework to help build, expand or rework anyone’s marketing strategy. Companies or community groups – be it startups, early stage to well-established – will benefit from this fresh, frank and unique perspective. In this 1 […]
