PortlandMaine)

Hi,

We're pulling together the User Experience track for Maine's 15th Annual 
Information Technology Conference to be held in Portland, Maine - November 
7, 2007.

We're looking for speakers for three 90-minute sessions on topics within the 
vast realms of our collective professions (UX, IxD, IA, UI, ID, UCD, CHI, 
WTF, OMG, etc.)

Being the Responsible UX Professionals From The Great State of Maine™ that 
we are, we asked a cross-section of last year's conference attendees, and 
conference "avoidees," what they want to
learn about...this is what they said:

*      Skills (wireframing, prototyping, use case scenarios, personas, 
usability testing, documentation)

*      Emerging trends/current innovations: (agile design, RIA)

*      Multi-platforming (cells, PDAs, handhelds, kiosks, interactive 
terminals) & multi-mediuming (sound, video 2.0, images, games)

*      Impact of web 2.0/3.0 on IA/usability/interaction/experience design

*      Ethnographic research and other innovative useful techniques

*      Developments in search, SEO, findability, navigation, organization of 
information

*      Value proposition of UX, strengthening UX/partnerships within your 
company

*      Relationships among visual design, usability, information design, 
information architecture, etc.

In other words, almost nothing's off limits—tales of success, failure, 
learning, joy, and woe. Give us thought-provoking, fresh, useful, practical, 
workable, radical, tested, testy, funny, fanciful, brain-cell-popping, 
replicable, and/or meaningful.

Here's the link to the presentation proposal form --

**please let us know initial interest by August 2th**

We'd love if you'd consider coming up to Maine, being our guest at the 
conference (and din-dins the night before), and speaking to the Maine UX 
cognoscenti, as well as all the new recruits and coverts. At last year's 
conference, the UX Track was by far the most popular and well-attended--with 
Steve Krug drawing in 150 of the 200 attendees! Come be an extra big fish in 
an extra cool li'l pond...

Thanks for your consideration - if you have questions, drop us a line!
