Il y a beaucoup de gens qui travaillent à la conception des experiences de l'usager au GC, soit en forme de logiciels, sites Web, services ou autres produits. Le réseau Eu du GC rassemble la communauté EU au sein du GC et au-delà pour des événements de réseautage.
 +
 +
==Combien de membres le Réseau compte-t-il?==
 +
Le Réseau EU du GC compte actuellement plus de 500 personnes issues de tous les niveaux du gouvernement au Canada, ainsi que des États-Unis, du Royaume-Uni et d’ailleurs.
 +
 +
==Quels types d’événements le réseau Eu du GC organise-t-il ?==
 +
C’est une communauté dynamique qui rassemble des professionnels de l’expérience utilisateur (UX) pour des événements de réseautage en ligne organisés plusieurs fois par an sur Discord. Ces événements offrent aux participants la possibilité de:
 +
*se présenter aux autres membres de la communauté UX,
 +
*de trouver des gens en EU à embaucher ou des emplois dans le domaine de l’EU, et
 +
*de participer à des discussions sur divers sujets liés à l’EU
 +
 +
Comme il s’agit d’opportunités de réseautage, les événements ne sont pas enregistrés.
 +
 +
'''Pourquoi Discord?'''<br>
 +
Discord is the preferred environment because it allows us to have a number of message boards and simultaneous networking discussions. Users can move freely between the different conversations happening on the platform, which provides our events with the feel of a networking event (vs. a more talking head/ presentation/ conference format afforded by other platforms such as Teams and Zoom).
 +
 +
Discord is blocked in certain departments, so we encourage you to test your connection before attempting to join events and consider using a personal device to connect.

There are many people working in the design of Government of Canada user experiences, whether for software applications, web sites, services or products. The GC UX Network brings together the UX community within the GC and beyond for networking events.

How many people are in the GC UX Network?[edit | edit source]

Our mailing list is current over 500 people from all levels of government in Canada, as well as the US, UK and beyond.

What kind of events does the GC UX Network hold?[edit | edit source]

The GC UX Network holds online networking events a few times a year on Discord. They offer participants the ability to:

  • introduce themselves to other members of the UX community,
  • find UXers to hire or find UX jobs, and
  • participate in networking discussions on a variety of UX-related topics.

As these are networking opportunities, events are not recorded.

Why Discord?

Discord is the preferred environment because it allows us to have a number of message boards and simultaneous networking discussions. Users can move freely between the different conversations happening on the platform, which provides our events with the feel of a networking event (vs. a more talking head/ presentation/ conference format afforded by other platforms such as Teams and Zoom).

Discord is blocked in certain departments, so we encourage you to test your connection before attempting to join events and consider using a personal device to connect.

If you are new to Discord, check out this Beginner's Guide. We will also have a tech support channel in our events if you need help.

How big are GC UX Network events?[edit | edit source]

Participation ranges depending on the topic and time of year. We can have anywhere from 50-150 people per event.

Contact[edit | edit source]

GC UX Network is hosted and coordinated by Tanya Snook, UX Designer at Fisheries and Oceans.

Stay informed of upcoming events[edit | edit source]

Join the mailing list to stay updated on GC UX Network events. All events are promoted through direct emails to the mailing list.
