DUX2003: Designing for User Experiences conference
--------------------------------------------------------
Organized by ACM SIGCHI, ACM SIGGRAPH, and AIGA Experience Design
The Palace Hotel, San Francisco, CA
5-7 June, 2003

Join an extraordinary and multidisciplinary group of top user experience 
designers for a weekend of insightful and inspiring discussion, reflection 
and debate!

DUX2003 is an exciting new conference-- the first one to look at the user 
experience of digital interactions from the key related fields of 
human-computer interaction, business and design. The bringing together of 
these communities and perspectives is being made possible by the first 
joint venture between ACM/SIGCHI, SIGGRAPH and the AIGA Experience Design 
community.

This conference will look at all facets of the product/service development 
lifecycle and at other organizational touch points that affect users' 
experiences. The results of the conference will contribute to the growing 
body of knowledge in the AIGA Experience Design Case Study Archive and the 
ACM Digital Library.

The conference program will feature prominent designers, business analysts, 
researchers, and educators via presentations and discussions of design 
cases, design practice, design research, invited plenary speakers and 
panelists.
