The INSIGHT EXCHANGE Chicago

What's on the menu

The Simulation Question

Where does simulated research earn its place in product work, and where does it cost you?

If you could invite the sharpest minds in UX Research, Product, and Design to dinner in Chicago, who would you choose?

...for us, it's you.

This November, we're setting the table for something special. The Insight Exchange, a complimentary, intimate dinner series hosted by Askable. One night, one conversation, a small group of UX Research and Product leaders working through the same problem. No panels. No pitches.

This time: synthetic users, digital twins, simulated respondents. In twelve months they've gone from a conference demo to the newest tool research platforms are shipping. To be for it or against it is the easy conversation. The harder one is narrower: which decisions can a model of a person carry, and which ones need the actual person? In this facilitated coversational dinner we'll work through where simulation has held up, where it hasn't, and how teams are drawing that line in practice.
‍

What to expect:

  • $50 Uber voucher for travel to / from dinner
  • Cocktail hour prior to dinner
  • Relatable UX war stories
  • New connections and ways of thinking
What's Insight Exchange?

A conversational dinner series for UX, CX and product design leaders

We know leadership can be hard. Real hard. These events aim to provide a space for leaders to share their wins and war stories with people who (actually) get it.

We'll be dining at Cira, the Mediterranean restaurant inside The Hoxton hotel in Fulton Market, conceived by the team behind Girl & the Goat and Swift & Sons. Chef Chris Pandel’s menu brings coastal Mediterranean dishes to the table, built around small plates and shared feasts, with much of it coming out of a show kitchen anchored by a wood-burning oven. The private dining space we'll be in will provide a perfect setting for discussing UX insights.

FAQs

Why are you organizing this event?
To bring the best minds in product, design, and research together – not for a keynote marathon, but for meaningful, face-to-face conversations.
Who is Askable?
We’re the folks making research feel less like admin and more like momentum. Insight delivery, participant recruiting, AI-enhanced analysis — we do it all, minus the fluff.
What’s the dress code?
Smart casual. Aka: look sharp, feel comfy. Sneakers welcome. Power suits… optional.
Anything else?
Yep. There’ll be good food, better convos, and zero boring panels.
