November 12th is World Usability Day, and this year's theme is *"Designing for a Sustainable World"*. NYC UPA is pleased to partner with IxDA New York and the School of Visual Arts to present a diverse mix of thought leaders who will speak about their experiences connecting sustainability with usable design.
Our speaker list includes: - Peter Mullan, Director of Planning for Friends of the High Line - Keynote - Beto Lopez, Senior Designer at IDEO - Ted Booth, Interaction Design Lead at Smart Design - J Grossen, Creative Director at Frog - Debera Johnson, Academic Director of Sustainability at Pratt …along with a number of entrepreneurs who have built successful business models around the core values of sustainability and social responsibility. Who should attend? This conference directly benefits marketers, designers and researchers who seek to integrate sustainability in branding, product design and messaging in an authentic way. Consumers increasingly consider sustainability in their checkout (or clickthrough) decisions and attach value to brands and experiences that win on intuitive, engaging design *and* social responsibility. This event is a chance to hear directly from successful pioneers in the field and incorporate their ideas and actions into practice. If your employer isn't yet focused on sustainability and you want to lead the way, or if you want to work for a company that already fights the good fight, this event represents a great networking opportunity. But seats are limited, so mark November 12th in your calendar and register at http://nycupa.org/WorldUsabilityDay now.
