UPA’s Quebec Chapter “Utilisabilité Québec” (Montréal+) will be at Intracom 2008

Dans le cadre de la 8e conférence internationale Intracom Québec 2008, présentée par l’Association des professionnels en intranet, Internet et extranet (API), plusieurs membres de notre regroupement de professionnels en utilisabilité - Utilisabilité Québec - présenteront une conférence ou une étude de cas, participeront à un panel, ou tiendront une clinique d’évaluation. Cet événement, devenu incontournable au Québec, est susceptible d’intéresser les professionnels - et les non spécialistes intéressés au domaine - de l’expérience utilisateur, incluant l’ergonomie cognitive et l’utilisabilité, ainsi que les gestionnaires et développeurs Internet en général.

J’y présenterai l’étude de cas D’une culture à l’autre de l’ONF : Un design centré utilisateur en contexte multiculturel, dans la piste «Communication et société», en continuité avec la conférence d’ouverture du renommé Aaron Marcus, Le design Web lié aux expériences multiculturelles.

Je participerai également au panel Amélioration de la qualité des réalisations Web, en compagnie de 4 autres panelistes : Benoit Piette de W3Québec, Jean-François Renaud d’Adviso, Guillaume Séguin d’Okiok et Samuel Lavoie de NVI Solution.

D’autres membres d’Utilisabilité Québec y participeront :

La Clinique d’évaluation en ergonomie et en accessibilité en direct, avec Julie Saulnier et Alain Robillard-Bastien d’Utilisabilité Québec et Denis Boudreau d’Accessibilité Web

La conférence Les séniors sont-ils devenus technos ?, Utilisabilité Québec et Impact Recherche dévoilent les résultats d’une vaste étude sur l’utilisation d’Internet par les personnes de plus de 50 ans, avec Stéphanie Le Rouzic et Sandrine Prom Tep d’Utilisabilité Québec

Utilisabilité Québec accueillera également les quelques 300 participants à leur kiosque afin de les informer, échanger avec eux et répondre à leurs questions.

Au plaisir de vous y rencontrer les 29-30 avril et 1er mai au Centre des congrès de la ville de Québec.

[MOCHI] Sean O’Driscoll - Social Media: If you could only leverage what your customers know

Please join us next monday for a very special event. We will be
hosting former Microsoft Community Support expert, Sean O’Driscoll. Details of the talk below. All are welcome and light snacks/drinks will be provided during the event.

Venue: West Hall Rm. 411 (Erlicher Rm.)

Abstract: Web 2.0, social media, Marketing 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, communities, transparency, virtual worlds, social graphs??? Like most new trends, there’s no shortage of buzz words, but there’s a big gap between the enthusiasm for this “new media” and what it means to a business. This sessions will try to address the following fundamental questions designed to inform a business on how to get started:

• What is Social Media?
• What is Social Media Strategy?
• Why does it matter to a business?
• Who are the “influencers” who make these social spaces thrive?
• How do you measure it?
• What is the social graph…and why should I care?

About the presenter: Sean O’Driscoll is a 15 year Microsoft veteran who recently left to form his own strategy consulting business focused on Social Media, community and influencer initiatives. In his most recent role at Microsoft, he was the general manager of community support services, where for the past 5 years he was responsible for leading the Web 2.0 strategy across Help and Support, focused on influencer engagement, user generated content, and integration with customer listening systems.For a bit more, visit his blog here: www.communitygrouptherapy.com
