15 October 2010

SIGCHI.be is organising its second annual conference human.interaction.design.2010 on Tuesday 23 November from 9:00-18:00 at Area42 in Brussels.

http://www.humaninteractiondesign.be/

The conference offers an exciting mix of workshops, tutorials, presentations and keynotes, and an opportunity to network with academics and professionals specialized or interested in designing usable technology with a great user experience.

The conference is open to anyone who is developing, designing, implementing, marketing or managing user interfaces of interactive products (e.g. websites, mobile devices, social media, software, hardware, innovative interfaces, ...). In the morning, both basic as well as advanced tutorials are offered, so no previous knowledge about usability, user experience or human-computer interaction is required.

Feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues in your company or your extended network who might be interested as well, or use the following Facebook or LinkedIn events to invite people:
