Sorry that I am posting this in two categories but I feel this is also relevant to this forum:

Are you intrigued by the rapidly-growing world of user experience design? Do you wonder how good design can gain users for your technology/software products? Are you passionate about giving your users the experience they deserve? Are you looking to meet and connect with other design enthusiasts? Yes? Then please read on.

This October, designers from the UX team at Google will be visiting Sub-Saharan Africa to conduct a 2-day, hands-on user experience masterclass in Cape Town, Nairobi and Lagos. Attendees at the masterclass will learn the process of taking an idea from concept to launch, including sketching, user testing, prototyping, and the importance of making continuous improvements to keep your users engaged and satisfied. The masterclass will cover interaction and visual design patterns including Material Design. The masterclass will be conducted in collaboration with Flow Interactive (Cape Town), the iHub (Nairobi) and the Pan Atlantic University (Lagos).

This masterclass is suitable for anyone with a passion for creating outstanding user experiences, regardless of whether you are a software developer, product manager, web designer or user experience designer. If you will be in any of the above cities early in October then you should consider applying for one of the limited seats at the Google User Experience Masterclass using the following links for Lagos, Cape Town and Nairobi. Applications close on September 22nd 2014
