WORLD USABILITY DAY 2019
DesignING FOR THE FUTURE WE WANT
The 14th annual World Usability Day (WUD) event will be celebrated globally on November 14, 2019. Programs will be organized in over 40 countries around the world. The Northeast Ohio chapter of the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA CLE) has been hosting a special event since 2005 for members and associated students, professionals and user advocates in the region.
CALL FOR SPEAKERS:
At World Usability Day 2019 on Nov. 14, UXPA Cleveland will once again bring together professionals, practitioners and industry experts for an intensive, informative and intriguing day of professional development sessions and networking. Though the exact details still are in progress, we are ready to start lining up our 2019 speakers.
This year’s theme is “Design for the Future We Want,” inspired by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development goals that provide a roadmap of the future. These 17 goals vary broadly, such as "Good Health and Well Being" to "Gender Equality" to "Sustainable Cities and Communities."
In support of this theme, we’re looking for speakers who can share their ideas and experiences to help us all create the future we want. So, we ask you: What work have you done that may inspire others? What hurdles have you overcome in the process? What small (or big) steps do you think people can take to improve their projects—and our futures?
