Maybe? While I'm pretty in favor of an umbrella concept, even if it means UX will cover "us" the way "engineer/programmer" covers Java, Perl, .NET, etc. primary folks. (As when I've referred to myself as a designer, that term is established to be understood as "visual designer" at best...I was once asked what lines of clothing was my favorite) But on conferences, the only evidence given so far has been what sorts of conferences each individual prefers. That's cool, and I agree with what's been said, and I can even feel what you're saying here, yet we'd be talking about restructuring some pretty established organizations (if we're waving a Wacom magic association changing wand here, of course :)) - how do we believe this will happen?
