Usability Week 2011 Austin

The Usability Week 2011 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.
