UX Week

Register TodaySan Francisco, August 12 - 15

UX Week is the premier user experience conference, and in 2008 we consider what it takes to create great products and services in an uncertain world. With a mix of inspiring talks from recognized thought leaders and hands-on workshops delivering takeaway skills, this event delivers for user experience professionals at all levels — directors, managers, and practitioners.

"At Adaptive Path conferences, we're all there—design practitioners and managers alike—to help move the practice of strategic design forward. I always leave the experience with a renewed sense of passion for user-centered design and the impact it can have on the businesses and communities we represent." — Margaret Gould Stewart, Google

Take a look at the list of speakers, workshops, and the schedule. We’ve got an amazing lineup featuring leading thinkers and practitioners in user experience, speaking and teaching on essential topics in the field. From the grounded experience of Don Norman to the flights of fancy of Bruce Sterling, from designing for the Web to designing for robots, from the sober stories of the LIVESTRONG experience to the comic flights of TheDailyShow.com, no other event covers as much ground and provides as much fun while doing it.
