After a successful World Usability Day meeting last year and two initial chapter meetings this year, we are ready to announce a series of regular events. The chapter will now meet on the second Thursday of every other month from 6-8 p.m. In addition to the regular meetings, we will again host a local World Usability Day event and organize other occasional special events.
Here’s our lineup for the next several months. We’re very fortunate to have local and international luminaries from the field coming to speak. More details about each event will be provided as we get a little closer to each. Meanwhile, please save these dates and make plans to join us!
