Why Attend the UX Conference?

UX training is a valuable investment

Learning how to create more successful interfaces is cheap compared with the amount of time and money organizations waste on uninformed design debates, poor decisions and fixing underperforming interfaces. Well-informed people drive good decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Full-day courses provide practical education

100% of our courses run for at least one full day (some are multi-day courses), which allow attendees to embrace a topic, understand the foundation, learn methods, apply these methods in class exercises and discuss with instructors and classmates to absorb the subject matter. Browse the extensive course listing for detailed topic lists and course summaries.

Based on empirical research

Empirical research is the foundation of our training courses. We've observed thousands of people interacting with interfaces. We are continually testing new interfaces and compiling data which we provide in our courses to help attendees eliminate opinion-based design arguments back at the office.

Decades of experience distilled into one week of courses

Nielsen Norman Group principals and instructors have published the most cited literature in the field of user experience including Jakob Nielsen's "Designing Web Usability, " Don Norman's "The Design of Everyday Things," and Bruce Tognazzini's "Tog on Software Design." Our instructors are seasoned UX professionals that base their courses on the real demands of the jobs our attendees need to do. Our materials and exercises are rooted in the reality we have experienced throughout our careers.
