UX Sofia: A Day of Learning, Fun and Fellowship

Fridays are always exciting in our office, and oddly enough, they are often the busiest day of the week. But last Friday was different. Instead of working, we had the pleasure of listening to insightful lectures and enjoying each other’s company at the UX Sofia event. This gathering brought together UX enthusiasts from Bulgaria and beyond, offering a day full of informative talks and engaging experiences.

The event was very well organized, with each lecture providing a wealth of information on various topics. We appreciated the unique perspectives and thought-provoking discussions, especially during the two panels where different UX designers shared their views on common challenges.

A highlight for us was the speech given by our CEO, Maria Burgelova. She spoke about visual storytelling, a topic close to our hearts. Maria shared examples that she and the team had created together to clearly illustrate the topic to the audience.

Another standout moment was the talk by Eric Reiss. His topic and the way it was presented highlighted his experience in the field and demonstrated how much we can learn from experts like him.

The atmosphere at UX Sofia was amazing. The food was delicious, and the coffee helped keep us energized throughout the day. Beyond the lectures, we enjoyed meeting new like-minded people and reconnecting with each other.

One special aspect of the event was how it brought our team together. Many of us usually work remotely, so having the chance to see each other face-to-face was very special. Some team members traveled from different cities to be there, turning the day into a spontaneous team-building experience.

UX Sofia was a wonderful mix of learning, fun, and fellowship. It was a memorable event, and we managed to fully enjoy a rather unusual Friday.
