[Sigia-l] [PLUG] Special offer: User Interface 14 Conference

[Jared Spool]

[Apologies if you get multiple copies.]

I'm very excited about the User Interface 14 Conference that's coming  
up, November 1-3 here in Boston, MA.

We have worked on this program for most of the year, and I have to  
say: It's probably the best event we've ever done. (I know, I know --  
I've said that before. But this one has really blown me away.)

There's Todd Zaki Warfel giving an amazing workshop on prototyping.  
And Gerry McGovern will share his new technique on determining the  
right words for links (what he calls Customer Carewords, which take  
our notion of Trigger Words to the next level).

I'm also excited that Leah Buley will be making her UI Conference  
debut, going into depth about her techniques for "creativity sprints"  
that help teams creatively explore their design options. I also am  
loving how Ginny Redish will dedicate a full day on writing for the  
web, where she'll look at the strategy and the tactics behind great,  
compelling content.

And that's just half of the conference. We've also got Scott Berkun,  
Dan Rubin, Donna Spencer, and Dana Chisnell, going deep on great  
topics like innovation, visual design, information architecture, and  
advanced user research techniques.

Plus, you'll find me rambling on about some of the secrets behind  
Amazon's success and what we can learn from studying their design  
approaches.

Of course, I'm not doing the program justice here. You should go check  
it out in its full glory at http://uiconf.com

WAIT! BEFORE YOU CLICK THAT LINK, you should know that I've arranged a  
special price and offer for discussion list members. (Let's just say  
it's my way for saying thank you for putting up with my crazy postings.)

If you register by next Thursday, 10/15/09, you can save a bunch of  
money with a low price of $1,670 for all three days, plus (and this is  
the really cool part,) you'll get your choice of Bose In-Ear or Over- 
Ear headphones with your registration. (If you can't come for all  
three days, you can save $50 off of each day.)

To get the low price, use the JOFFER Promotion Code (JOFFER is short  
for Jared's Offer) when you register. We'll make sure you get the low  
price *AND* the headphones for your 3-day registration. (Or the $50/ 
day discount for any 1 or 2 day registration.)

OK, now you can click on http://uiconf.com and see the great program I  
was talking about.

And I hope to see you at the conference! It'll be a blast.

Jared

p.s. Don't forget: Register by next Thursday and get a 3-day  
registration, plus Bose headphones for $1,670. http://uiconf.com
