What: Joint PHICHI and AIGA November Meeting: the Visual vs. the Usable - A
Panel Discussion

On November 2nd, PhiCHI (The Philadelphia Region's Chapter of the ACM
SIGCHI) and AIGA Philadelphia (American Institute of Graphic Arts) will be
holding their next joint meeting; a round table discussion with audience
participation and panelists from user experience and design team members
from Electronic Ink, Inc. and The Vanguard Group, Inc.

The panelists will discuss questions that were previously submitted from the
AIGA and PHICHI members (For example, how do you feel when you are handed a
wireframe to design/how do you feel when your wireframe is not adhered to?).
We will endeavor to address as many questions as time permits at the event.
Remember, we envision The Visible vs. the Usable to be a series of events.
The discussion will continue.

When:
Thursday, November 2nd
Refreshments & Networking: 6-6:30pm – Food and beverages will be provided.
Panel Discussion: 6:30pm – 8ish

Where:
Heilmeier Hall University of Pennsylvania
