About This Event
Come to Portland, Maine, for a full-day adventure of the best in UX!  Each year the Maine UX community brings together UX experts, luminaries, and peers from here and "From Away" for a day-long learning experience. This year's theme seems to be what it means to be nimble, agile, inspired—how that plays itself out in dynamic prototyping, games-inspired experience design, and agile or guerilla usability testing.

.................................. 

Snapshot of three 90-minute sessions, and 6 stimulating speakers!

We'd love to see you at the conference—as well as afterward at a post-conference dinner of UX Track speakers, colleagues visiting for the conference, and Mainers in UX. We'll be gathering at a favorite bistro of Portland's "cultural creatives" in the fun and fashionable Munjoy Hill section of town.

So whether you're in Northern New England--or have always wanted to be--c'mon up (or down, or over). We look forward to seeing you! 

btw: when we say "UX" we mean--oh, you know, really...the whole big-tent gamut-run of user experience, usability, interaction design, information architecture, UI design, HCI/CHI, as well as out of the wilds of visual, graphic, and industrial design, social networking, user-centered design and development, findability, search, SEO, taxonomy/ontology, library & info science, online marketing/communications, elearning, harem, scarem, merchan, tarem, zig-zag-zav, lorem ipsum...etc. (whew!)
