Formed in 1991, the Usability Professionals' Association (UPA) provides
a means for usability professionals to share information and exchange
ideas about usability methods and methodologies, tools and technology,
skills and skill development, and organizational issues that may impact
the success of usability evaluation.
UPA members come from a variety of industries, including computer
hardware and software, telecommunications, retail, insurance, government
agencies, consumer product companies, and consulting firms.
The UPA conference provides practitioners with the opportunity to
network and exchange information with usability professionals from throughout
the world. The conference is oriented toward the practical so attendees
can take ideas back to their offices and put them to work immediately
to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the usability practices.
