Phoenix World Usability Day Event – November 13, 2008
Fourth Annual Global Event to Create Awareness for Usability
Arizona professionals interested in hardware/software usability and human factors are invited to attend the second World Usability Day event in Phoenix. Please join this awareness and networking event designed to grow the Arizona usability community. The event is scheduled for Thursday, November 13, 2008 from 6:00 - 8:30 p.m. Seating and refreshments are limited, so you must RSVP to attend this event. Event details are below.
The agenda is now being finalized. Presentations and/or panel discussions are planned on transportation usability experiences and case studies. This is a networking event, so local companies are encouraged to introduce themselves and describe their usability efforts. Any interested presenters should contact Theo Mandel (contact information below). This meeting is also an initial effort to form an Arizona chapter of the Usability Professionals' Association (UPA). An overview of the UPA will be presented and attendees will be able to sign up for more information on the formation of the Arizona UPA Chapter.
Sponsors include the Usability Professionals' Association (www.upassoc.org) and World Usability Day (www.worldusabilityday.org). The local event is sponsored by the Art Institute of Phoenix (www.artinstitutes.edu/phoenix/).
A more detailed agenda will be published shortly.
