Evening World Usability Day Event (Ann Arbor, MI)

The Michigan UPA is excited to bring you an evening World Usability Day event to supplement that outstanding day-long conference that Michigan State University is planning for that day!

We are very excited about this event, because it is an opportunity for us to reach out to people that are outside the usability field with a message of how user-centered design can provide real value. The theme of this year’s World Usability Day is transportation, and that also has us pretty excited, given that there are at least a few people in Michigan that work for transportation-related companies.

The event will be held in the evening on Thursday, November 13, 2008. It will be hosted in Ann Arbor. The focus of this event is spreading the word about user centered design and usability. The event will consist of a series of short talks (about 10-20 minutes), with each talk presenting a specific story about how user centered design, a focus on the user, or a piece of the usability “toolkit” delivered value to a company.

This event is an opportunity to see how usability can help you and is geared toward people unfamiliar with it or usability professionals who could use some good stories to tell.

Watch the Michigan UPA website for more details as they become available.
