The Sydney UPA Chapter are celebrating their 2nd Birthday in a social event with two short, but very cool talks and a couple of excellent prizes!
I really hope to see a wide cross section of the Sydney web community at this event. User Experience is something that many more of us are aware of in our work these days, and we have a couple of brilliant presentations that will be of interest to anyone working on the web.
With this party, we hope to relaunch regular UPA events, leading with UX topics that are challenging, accessible and of interest to the wider web community.
The event is open to everyone but rsvp’s are essential.
When?
Wednesday 1st July 2009
6pm for 6.30pm till 10pm
Where?
Level 3, Blacket Hotel
70 King Street
Corner of King & George Streets
What’s happening?
1) Prizes and give-aways including a free ticket to UX Australia, as well as an iPod shuffle from Web Directions and discount codes for both conferences on the night.
2) Guest speaker: Dr. Christopher Khalil from News Interactive
The Future of HCI: Intelligent User Interfaces as Agents of Change
In this talk Christopher Khalil will discuss some trends in HCI and what they mean to us as User Experience Practitioners. Is the end nigh for Interaction Design as we know it? Will we all end up being lawyers rather than designers?

Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year.
