Voice Personality Workshop with Microsoft’s Stephanie Blucker

Join us for a workshop with Stephanie Blucker, Writer at Microsoft. At this event, Stephanie will cover how she approaches developing a personality for CUX/VUX. There will also be a breakout session where you’ll have the opportunity to develop your own CUX/VUX personality.

Note: We’re asking for a $5-10 donation at the door for attendees to support costs related to putting on local events including hosting the Meetup.com page, organizing the event, nametags, pens, supplies, etc. We will accept cash and Venmo at the door.

Why the donation? Women in Voice does not have the mission of making money, we just don’t want our organizers to be in the red while they volunteer!

Location: 33rd Floor of Create33 (999 3rd Avenue)
