What Is RRS?
The 5th Annual Radical Research Summit (RRS) creates a unique opportunity to connect with the North American UX research community. RRS will take place virtually, from Vancouver BC in the Fall of 2021. Radical Research brings together exceptional speakers from large technology organizations, start-ups and academia.
This year talks will be held over 4 days in three-hour morning/mid-day segments. Our new schedule is optimized for the web conference format and provides new opportunities for speakers to engage with the attendees.
RRS is attended by over 250 design researchers, UX practitioners, ethnographers, product managers and businesses. The focus is on issues and topics that directly impact design research practices today and guide us to the future.
