I attended ForgeConf in Philadelphia on September 26, 2016. ForgeConf was a two-track conference but in this case that means there were two different talks in most of the time slots; they were all for UX folks. Choosing tracks was difficult! Anyway, these are the notes from the sessions I attended.
Here are the notes from the conference. Note: since the time when these were captured on Storify, Storify has ceased to be a thing. Fortunately, I had print-to-PDF backups. Unfortunately, they’re not particularly accessible.
