Usability Day 2017
Well-designed user experiences allow for the uniqueness of people’s different strengths...to co-exist in a...common ground...tapping into the potential of all people to create conditions that are inclusive at their core.
World Usability Day is an annual day of celebration and education centered around usability. The objective of this day is to bring together people interested in usability, user experience, accessibility, service design, and other related fields, in order to have conversations about how we can work toward ensuring that services and products used in daily life are accessible and simple to use.
Please join us for a few informal sessions on Usability to celebrate this year's World Usability Day! All sessions are free and open to all.
