Speaker: Ryan Sno-Wood (Director at XP Gaming) (Business Development at Game Ignite) Step into the ultimate gaming experience that spans decades of innovation, imagination, and immersion. This is a dynamic event that traces the thrilling journey of gaming — from pixelated pioneers and arcade legends to next-gen consoles, virtual reality, and beyond. We Were Always Going to Make Games. It all started in 1958 with Tennis for Two: a simple game built on an oscilloscope by a physicist who wanted to add a little fun to science exhibits. Or did it? Let’s take a light dive into how video games evolved into a $455 billion industry. We’ll explore how technology shaped games, how games have shaped culture, and why humans have always found ways to turn new tools into new kinds of play. Whether you’re a retro enthusiast, a tech-savvy gamer, or just curious about how far games have come, this event invites you to explore iconic milestones, meet industry trailblazers, and interact with cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of play. It’s not just a look back — it’s a celebration of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going CODE OF CONDUCT Agenda: 6:00PM – 6:15PM: Welcome & Registration 6:15PM – […]

Finding Jobs in UX: What I Learned from Five Months of Unemployment

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax, NS

Details In a world where remote work is the norm and AI is transforming the landscape, finding the perfect UX job—or even a job—can feel overwhelming. That was certainly the case for our June speaker, Josh Salmon. When he found himself suddenly unemployed, it seemed like even a decade of experience didn’t count for much. In this talk, Josh will share what he learned during five months of job hunting: how he rediscovered skills he’d forgotten, made use of new tools (like AI), and stayed grounded through an uncertain chapter. He’ll talk about his journey from academia to the video game industry, to being laid off, and eventually finding a new home in healthcare UX. Along the way, Josh will cover practical tips on job searching, refining resumes (or portfolios), preparing for interviews, and staying sane throughout the process. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a career change, we hope you’ll find something useful—and maybe even reassuring—in his story. Hope to see you there! 😊 > Agenda 7:00 PM Doors open, networking time 7:15 PM Introductions from the event hosts, Nata and Ruby 7:20 PM Finding Jobs in UX: What I Learned from Five Months of Unemployment with Josh Salmon 7:50 PM Q&A 8:15 PM Networking […]
