Two great conferences coming up
July 10th, 2008 | Published in UXD
This fall I can see at least two great IA/UXD conferences coming up in the US. First in August, there’s Adaptive Path’s UX Week 2008 in San Francisco. It’s not cheap, but the speakers include Bruce Sterling, Mike Kuniavsky and Audrey Chen, and Nokia, RIM, Sony Ericsson, Google, and Yahoo are just some of the companies that are attending the 4 day event.
In October, it’s time for IAI’s yearly IDEA Conference. The registration fees for the 2 day gathering in Chicago are very affordable, especially for IAI members, and the list of speakers includes David Armano and Chris Crawford. I myself probably won’t make it to UX Week (sigh), but there’s a good chance that I will be in Chicago for IDEA. See you there?

I've also worked as project manager, managing projects for clients like Nokia, the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones. I have gained experience in three different countries on three different continents: Finland, The United Arab Emirates, and Canada. Currently, I work as a Senior Experience Architect at Organic, Inc in Toronto, Canada. I work together with other strategists, creative directors, writers, designers and developers to create experiences that deliver exceptional value to clients and their customers.
