By Cory Lebson, Director of Strategic Partnerships | User Experience Professionals Association
On behalf of the User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA), we are very excited to begin a strategic partnership with STC.
Established in 1991 as UPA, and recently renamed, UXPA supports people who create and evaluate the user experience of products and services.
The UXPA (usabilityprofessionals.org) holds international conferences, publishes new findings through both the Journal of Usability Studies (JUS) and through User Experience Magazine, and has 50 chapters around the world. The UXPA’s goals are to:
- Be an authoritative source on the practice of usability, user-centered design (UCD), and user experience (UX).
- Facilitate professional development and education within the field of user experience
- Promote the business value of user experience, research, design and evaluation to business and other entities.
- Foster a community of user experience professionals through knowledge sharing and networking.
In 2013, UXPA will hold two conferences. In July, we will have a conference in Washington, DC, and in November, in Shanghai, China. For more information, please visit uxpa2013.org.
