1st UX Seminar in Tehran (and Iran)

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Hello everyone again,

Unfortunately, I wasn’t around so much and besides that, I missed you a lot. But I’ve come back with good news.

Finally, After a long endeavor, the 1st User Experience seminar was held in Tehran (and of course Iran) 2 weeks ago on Tuesday and it was great. This seminar was held by Informatic Society of Iran (ISI) @ Shardari’s Conference Hall in Tehran. I was the speaker and I experienced a great moments.

At this seminar, I introduced the field of User Experience design to people and let them know about the other things involve in designing for a good UX including usability goals, UX goals, design principles, etc. I also presented some case studies, which are successful because of their good UX designs. I also introduced UX network as a community for all user experience designers around the world. I am happy that the promotion of UX design and Uxnet has just started in my locale.  

Another good news is that most probably I will have another seminar in Nov at the place and once again it’s held by ISI. I will post more details later. But, I bet that it will be great and fun, too. So don’t miss this.

I am working on making the PowerPoint of the Seminar ready and put it on SlideShare. Once I am done, I will post the link for the PowerPoint and the seminar’s pictures in another post. 

Check my post for more information later.

Till next time, take care.

Best regards

Hello UXnet and the Tehran

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Hello to everyone reads this post,

My name is Alireza Nikookar and I am Local Ambassador for Tehran, Iran in UXnet.

I’m currently working as an User Experience Designer in Real and Dream Company. I’m really passionate about and interested in UX fields and I’d like to share knowledge with everyone who’s interested and extend these fields in my locale.

Unfortunately, UX is nearly an unknown field in my locale and better said in my country. I know that what an important role it’s play in today life and every project. I am eager to introduce it to people in my area and make it an unavoidable item in every project. Therefore, please help me if you’re interested in my beliefs and goals.

As the Executive, VP. of Iran Chapter of IIBA®, I will try to collaborate wtih other professional associations and organizations to promote User Experience in my locale.

Please help me with any news, events, announcements, conferences, tips and anything you think will be helpful. I will accept it with an open arms.

See you soon,

Best regards
