World Usability Day Program

Just a reminder that World Usability day is this Thursday, November 8th. Pick a presentation you’d like to see and then hang around for a look at Telstra’s new usability lab… I can’t wait to see that one. I’ve worked with Sensis in their usability lab, which I thought was great, so this one should be really state of the art… let’s see!

Come for one session or come for them all, it’s going to be an interesting day:

Where:

Telstra’s Experience Centre

Level 4, 400 George Street, Sydney

I’m on at 12:45 and will be giving a presentation similar to the one I gave at Web Directions, Usability: More than skin deep, which looks at the need to incorporate accessibility into all user experience research and design projects as a core component.

    yeah bummer Nick, unfortunately there’s nothing going on in Perth for world usability day either. Aren’t there any usability peeps over there?

    Thanks Russ – I’m interested to see what you think of my topic…
