MinneWebCon - April 6th, 2009, University of Minnesota I’ll be speaking at the second MinneWebCon at the University of Minnesota next Monday, April 6th, 2009. There's a great lineup of speakers focusing on a range of topics, from user experience design, to social media privacy, to site security and hacker tricks. I attended MinneWebCon ’08 and had a blast. I'm more excited this year to have the honor of presenting a session entitled “It’s the Little Things”.

My Session: It’s the Little Things

User Interaction: it's the little things that are a website’s best assets for gaining a positive and memorable user experience. This presentation will focus on trends and best practices in design and development conventions for user controls and how they affect the user experience—negatively or positively. Through the course of the session, we will discover various problems affecting smooth user interaction. Then I will identify ways to enhance controls and layouts in order to both speed up required user tasks and make them easier to use.

There is limited space for attendees at MinneWebCon, so register today before it fills up. I hope to see you all there!
