As content designers and UX writers, we all strive to create product experiences that are clear, concise, conversational and compelling.
Yet many of us work in highly regulated industries that require us to champion clear language within legal constraints—and while partnering with legal and compliance professionals whose writing can be wordy, complex, and inaccessible. (E.g., those page-turning “Terms and Conditions.”)
Finding balance between risk and clarity can be tricky, but it’s not impossible.
That’s why UX Content Design NYC is joining forces with The UX Writing Hub to bring you a live panel event on how to collaborate within constraints to create safer, more accessible digital products.
• Ever seen your ship date postponed by a deluge of legal comments?
• Ever wondered how to create a “same team” mentality with people who seem to think so differently?
• Ever wondered what it’s like to work in the evolving world of fintech?
Then this event is for you!
Moderated by UX Writing Hub founder Yuval Keshtcher, the panel includes speakers from some of today’s top tech companies including Robinhood, Havas CX, Lemonade, and JPMorgan Chase.
Spaces are limited, so sign up today.
