Advanced Topic SeminarsThe new Advanced Topics Seminars are forums where experienced usability professionals can discuss focused topics in more detail than presentations. These seminars will occur during the main conference and will accommodate up to 20 people. The leader(s) of each seminar will present the advanced topic for about 30 minutes and then allow about 1-1/2 hours for discussion. The Advanced Topics Seminars are intended to offer a high degree of interaction. The results of the seminars will be captured and posted to the UPA website, allowing for sharing and learning following the conference. Advanced topics will be challenging and geared toward usability professionals. If you are interested in signing up for an Advance Topic Seminar, please e-mail Chauncey Wilson.
