World Usability Day is Thursday November 13th.
Events are held around the world on this day, and Michigan alone has 5 events across the State. The events range in cost from FREE to $20, and it is a great opportunity to get some training locally…and network with other UX people while we are at it.
Following is a summary and links.
I hope you can participate in one or more!
Regards,
