Why Should You Sponsor?

UXPA Cleveland is the official Northeast Ohio chapter of the international User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA), designed to educate, motivate, and promote usability and user experience design throughout Northeast Ohio.

We gather the region’s user experience professionals nine times per year for educational meetings and networking sessions, including our largest event, World Usability Day.

Our ability to provide such opportunities for UX professionals relies in large part on donations and sponsorships from organizations committed to promoting usability and user experience design.

Thank you for considering a commitment not only to UXPA Cleveland but to the usability, user experience design, customer experience, user research, and interactive design enthusiasts and professionals across our region who will benefit from your support.
