To celebrate World Usability Day 2009 'Designing for a Sustainable World', Optimal Usability in conjunction with UPA NZ, is holding an event on the 12th of November.
Timothy Allan, Principal of Locus Research, will be speaking on the night about sustainable design:
"Sustainability starts with you & finishes with your customers"
Sustainability and the concept of life cycle thinking involves products and services in a system that users and consumers interact with. Understand the connection between your company and this system. Learn how these relationships have a profound impact on the future sustainability and success of your company, and the role usability has to play in communicating these relationships.
The event is free, but there are very limited spaces available so please RSVP by Tuesday 10th.
