The User Experience Alliance (UXalliance), an international network of leading usability companies, convenes twice a year to discuss current usability trends across the globe. The meeting was held in Florence, Italy from April 4th through April 6th in conjunction with the CHI conference. This meeting brings each member face-to-face to ensure quality standards are being met, discuss global research experiences, and investigate new opportunities in emerging markets. With constant focus on how to improve the client experience when testing internationally, the UXalliance is committed to developing new ways using cutting edge technology, like User Centric's new streaming interface, to make multi-country testing as seamless and cost effective as possible.
