Usability Week 2012

The Usability Week 2012 Conference

Many conferences offer cavernous exhibit halls, brief seminars on second-hand discoveries, and a sense of anonymity that can be truly alienating.

Usability Week takes a different approach.

Knowledge, Directly from the Source

In place of scattered, shallow talks, Usability Week offers up to 6 days of deep learning as international experts lead full-day tutorials on topics such as:

Fundamental guidelines for Web usability Applying information architecture (IA) principles Writing for the Web Application design Integrating social features on mainstream websites The human mind (how your users think) Mobile websites and touchscreen/gesture apps

Course levels range from introductory to advanced; you can sign up for as few as 1 or 2 days or as many as 6.

Industry leaders carefully design each tutorial to emphasize practical application, offering you maximum return-on-investment.

Many sessions include hands-on training exercises that let you apply what you learn immediately; all ensure that you’ll learn tools you can use to improve your website, intranet, or application as soon as you get home.

Networking Opportunities

Because you’ll spend each day in a group with in-depth focus on a single topic, you can discuss problems, share solutions, and make lasting connections with your peers.

Venues

The conference visits several of the world’s great cities, providing ample incentive to continue networking offsite at world-class restaurants, clubs, and attractions.
