Yesterday the irregular Amsterdam UX Cocktail Hours (organized by the inimitable Peter) event was hosted by Philips Design.

The UX Cocktail Hours are a networking event for the IA and IxD crowds frequented by tremendously nice and knowledgeable people. As an aspiring experience professional it’s great to get to know them and pick their brain.

Every session is hosted by a company who get the chance to present their experience practice and various things are presented. I must say I pretty much always take home something which I use or refer to later on (it’s nice like that).
Philips showed a lot of stuff about how the go about designing experiences and we got to see the process how they developed a competing MP3 player to the iPod which was pretty interesting (not to mention revealing).

The next session is at TomTom and as I have a more than passing interest in transit data, I think that could be very interesting indeed.
