Activities

This year's conference offers a wide variety of information and activities. See the daily schedules for complete listings of events, or use the session finder to locate sessions that fit your specific needs and interests. The conference is organized into four primary tracks:

• Method and skill development
• Building usability within the organization and product life cycle
• Business case studies
• UPA classics and invited speakers

The conference includes full days on Wednesday, August 16, and Thursday, August 17, as well as a half day on Friday, August 18. In addition, you will find tutorials, and workshops filling Monday, August 14, and Tuesday, August 15. Throughout the week, we've also included a variety of special events. Whatever your interest and experience in usability might be, there's something here for you.
