EPIC People
Every time I attend EPIC events I come away inspired to push the boundaries and status quo of what research practice is and can be for the people we serve. EPIC is a dynamic community where researchers get a unique opportunity to engage across sectors, borders and institutions.
Always insightful, immediately applicable, and delightfully provocative, EPIC gives us the knowledge and networks we need to be strong voices for people most affected by future technology.
As a first-time speaker [at EPIC], I felt welcomed by the incredible sense of community. I was excited to have an opportunity to share my experience applying ethnography in Thailand with global practitioners as well as to learn more.
