Dramatically Improving Today's User Experience

IUE2010, the sixth annual conference, brings you top industry speakers, practitioners, and authors to provide you with the most complete package of Internet user experience design training, case studies, and real-world examples ever assembled.

We cover most aspects of web site design and strategy, including user experience design, graphics, branding, social networking, accessibility, effective web writing, the migration to mobile, and enhancements that drive customers to your site.

The Ideal Future

We approached innovators, disgruntled luddites, and science fiction writers to put together The Ideal Future of Internet Devices.

We invited social media experts from large corporations, small companies, consultancies, and individual personal users to set some direction for The Ideal Future of Social Media.
