Event Details

On Thursday the 10th November is World Usability Day. As we have noticed that there is no event planed for Lisbon, we thought we would throw our doors open. We have just got back from organising the very successful UX Brighton conference, so we have not had much much time in planning or organising an event here in Portugal. 

The event will be at our office near Maques de Pombal.
 
This years theme of World Usability Day is EDUCATION: Designing for Social Change.

The focus is outwardly on how our organizations, our cultures, and our world impact usability. 

We will explore and celebrate:

● Designing with an intentional outcome of sparking change in how people behave, communicate, and do things in the world; and

● Examining the concept of cultures and how culture impacts usability.

What is World Usability Day?

It's about making our world work better. 

It's about "Making Life Easy" and user friendly. Technology today is too hard to use. A cell phone should be as easy to access as a doorknob. In order to humanize a world that uses technology as an infrastructure for education, healthcare, transportation, government, communication, entertainment, work and other areas, we must develop these technologies in a way that serves people first…

World Usability Day was founded in 2005 as an initiative of the Usability Professionals' Association to ensure that services and products important to human life are easier to access and simpler to use. Each year, on the second Thursday of November, over 200 events are organized in over 43 countries around the world to raise awareness for the general public, and train professionals in the tools and issues central to good usability research, development and practice.

This is not a company, but a human-professional operation system. We co-operate because we think this is the time of sharing and collaboration, so we started with a network of independent professionals, obsessed with the life of creative consultants, which has attracted some great people, such as Designers, Managers, Sociologists, Graphic Facilitators, and much more.
