Steve Krug’s Web Usability Workshop : Friday 7 October 2005 in London

Steve Krug’s Web Usability Workshop

Steve Krug, author of “Don’t Make Me Think” teaches his day-long workshop based on the principles in his best-selling Web usability book.

Everyone who attends can submit a URL for consideration, and a number of them of them will receive expert mini-reviews during the day. (One will even be used for a live usability test.) Attendees at past workshops have indicated that these mini-reviews are a great way to “get” how to do it themselves.

Who should attend: Designers, programmers, writers, business developers, sole proprietors, VPs—anyone who works on, manages, or signs the checks for Web sites. And particularly people who found Don't Make Me Think useful and want more of the same.

When: Friday 7th October 2005, 9 am to 5 pm

Where: Courthouse Hotel, Great Marlborough Street, London (opposite Liberty’s of London and Carnaby Street, just off Regent Street)

The complete workshop description is at http://sensible.com/workshops.html.

Registration for the day is £499. To register, call Sue Evans at Intranet Benchmarking Forum at +44 (0)20 7435 6606, or email sue@ibforum.co.uk, or use the online registration form (http://www.ibforum.co.uk/pages/calendar_event.asp?content_area=2&event_id=27).
