User Centric staff made significant contributions to UPA 2006

User Centric staff gave four presentations and participated in a workshop at the 2006 Usability Professionals Association Conference. Gavin Lew, Bob Schumacher, Aga Bojko, Heather Olson, and Abby Stephenson all conducted presentations, while Aga also participated in a workshop on eye tracking.

The four presentations explored a variety of topics, including: team and data management in large-scale usability projects, advanced user experience techniques, assessing the impact of global testing, and using eye tracking to evaluate and compare designs. Sessions were highly interactive and provided practical insights based on real consulting experiences and case studies.

The 2006 UPA Conference was held in Broomfield, Colorado from June 12-16. The theme of the conference was "usability through storytelling." At least 600 people from around the world were expected to have attended the conference this year.
