Sorry if duplicate; I'm sending widely now to lists where it's relevant! Forward freely.

I'm not directly involved in this but have attended/enjoyed it for many years; it's fascinating hearing about leading edge -- and commercialized! -- research into how humans/computers/gadgets/software get along.

Respond as directed below...

Registration is now open!
