Over the past few years, there has been much experimentation with the annual conference: with the structure, the organization, the length, etc. All this experimentation is for the benefit of our conference attendees, members and non-members alike. The conference chairs and committee are always looking to improve the conference experience without passing additional cost along in the registration fees.

In 2013 we’re experimenting yet again…this time with the conference model itself. While details are not finalized yet, we’re looking to hold two major UXPA conferences in 2013. To do this, we’re partnering with successful regional events: User Friendly in China and User Focus in Washington, DC. We’re looking at an early summer conference in Washington, D.C. and a November conference in Shanghai, China.

Christina York, 2013 conference chair, and I will post more details as they become available. We also want to hear your ideas and feedback, so please help us shape UXPA conferences for 2013 and beyond by sharing your thoughts here.

We hope to see you at at least one UXPA event next year!
