About this Event
As a Professionals Association dedicated to promoting the professional growth of UX practitioners, UXPA Portugal believes in creating spaces where learning, sharing, and community come together.
That’s why we’re proud to host the launch of “The Anticipatory Design Playbook – A UX Guide to Design AI-Driven Experiences”, by Joana Cerejo. By doing so, we are supporting one of our own members in their professional journey, while also giving back to the wider UX community by sharing first-hand insights into some of the most up-to-date frameworks shaping our practice today.
This event will go beyond a traditional book presentation. We’ll host a discussion panel, bringing together different perspectives on the ideas, challenges, and opportunities that anticipatory and AI-driven design brings to our work and to the UX space as a whole. We’ll close the event with a networking moment, creating space to connect, reflect, and exchange experiences.
The event is free for UXPA Professional members.
For all the other participants, it has a symbolic participation fee, fully deductible from the purchase of the book, reinforcing our commitment to accessibility, learning, and community support.
