The very first Melbourne UX Movie Night will be held on Monday, 7th June 2010. Come down from 5:30 / 6:00 PM, we’ll run the movie at 6:30 PM.

Which movie will be shown?

First up we have Jon Kolko’s Keynote from Interaction 10, My Heart is in The Work:

In 1900, Andrew Carnegie quietly declared that his “heart is in the work”. This talk examines our ability to affect change at the intersection of experience, behaviour, meaning, and culture, and will emphasise our responsibility to approach our work with philanthropic enthusiasm that would make Carnegie proud.
