User Centric Hosts User Experience Consulting Symposium for University of Illinois
To learn about opportunities in user experience consulting, Human Factors and Engineering Psychology students from University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) are converging upon User Centric headquarters. Several User Centric consultants will be speaking about projects in which user experience research and design can make a positive impact. In turn, several students will present their academic research to the User Centric team. This symposium presents a unique chance to exchange ideas about current research and discuss how usability consulting plays a vital role in developing a successful product, Web site or application.
The User Experience Consulting Symposium will be held on Friday, January 23, 2009 at User Centric headquarters in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. More information can be found online.
