World Usability Day with NEOUPA: A Day of UX Education & Training November 10, 2011

The seventh annual World Usability Day (WUD) event will be celebrated globally on November 10th, in over 40 countries around the world. Join NEOUPA at Dave & Buster's for a FULL DAY of informative sessions, networking, UX vendor booths, and fun!

Morning Hands-on Workshop: What Makes Them Click?
We think that people are logical and rational, and that their decisions are made by careful thinking. But, the reality is that most decisions are made in a largely unconscious way. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Susan Weinschenk will share the research on unconscious mental processing, and the implications for designing engaging and persuasive websites. You will learn:
• About the 3 different brains (old, mid, new) and how sites that talk to all 3 brains are more compelling and persuasive
• How emotions affect decisions to take action at a website
• How to keep and hold the attention of the unconscious mind
• How many choices are too many and what happens if you go over that number
• Practical ways to apply the latest neuroscience research to web design and much more

Afternoon Breakout Sessions
During the afternoon, enjoy 50-minute sessions from a variety of speakers on a variety of topics, including:
• Don't Make Your Subscribers Think: How to Optimize Your Email Usability
• The "Ability" to Achieve Social Media Social Media Success (Use-ability, Like-ability, Share-ability, Find-ability)
