Creative research methods speed dating workshop 2025

Looking for a new research method to fall in love with?

At Leeds Digital Festival, Hippo lead user research consultant Rachel Abbott is hosting a speed-dating style workshop where you will get hands-on with six creative approaches. From photo elicitation to walking interviews, each ‘date’ is a chance to try something new and see how it could transform the way you collect insights.

The workshop is designed to move past routine interviews and explore techniques that spark richer conversations and deeper understanding. You will leave with practical methods you can bring straight into your own projects.

If you are ready to give your research toolkit a few new matches, this is the place to start.
