[Sigia-l] NYC IxDA Event: WireFARM 2006, April 13th @ 6:30 pm

[Nasir Barday]

NYC IxDA IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE
WireFARM 2006

Come to WireFARM '06 and share your prototyping techniques!
Interaction Designers use many tools to mock-up user interfaces,
including paper and pencil, PowerPoint, Visio, Dreamweaver,
Photoshop, and Fireworks. We also tend to grow our own techniques,
and rarely have a chance to share them. We will feature presentations
from local designers, each showing off current best practices in
prototyping.

NOTE: We are looking for presenters. If you are interested in
giving a short (10-minute) presentation on your techniques, please e-
mail a short proposal to nyc at ixda.org. Please include the tool you
intend to use and the type of prototype you would like to demonstrate.)

But that's not all! In addition to these community presentations,
Microsoft will give an exclusive demonstration of their new
interaction design tool, Expression Interactive Designer (formerly
known as Sparkle).
