UPA in Europe
For the first time in its history, the UPA conference will travel to the heart of Europe. Our key theme will focus on how UX professionals can create great user experiences across different cultures, meeting the challenges of delivering to diverse audiences.
One of the great strengths of the UPA conference is that it brings together a network of practitioners from around the world. This international conference will provide more networking and social interaction than ever before, putting you in touch with inspiring people and new ideas.

Great networking:

Experienced Practitioners:
Due to popular demand the 2010 conference will focus on delivering a wider range of advanced material for experienced practitioners that will inspire, engage and challenge our ever growing experienced audience. These sessions will be highly interactive and participatory and integrated within the main conference program.
Usability Fundamentals:
We also acknowledge the less experienced attendees at the conference and will continue to provide our ‘usability fundamentals' track that provides a range of sessions aimed at those who are just looking to learn the basics of usability.
