Interaction Design Association

For those who are interested in interaction design (user interfaces sound related don't they)? You can read about this conference going on right now in Vancouver, here and here.

Briefly IxDA is a member driven group of international designs in the interaction design field. They're holding a conference this year in Vancouver, called (creatively) IxDA Interaction 09, with a lot of big name designers going. They've got people from all backgrounds, working and academic, but a lot of people from smaller firms and a lot of consultants.

You can read over most of the topics here, but to summarize, there are a bunch of workshops and lectures about using sketching to help design research, how to perform new and innovative research about user interactions, as well a lot of speaking just about user interactions in specific fields (software and hardware interaction design), and lectures by a lot of high-up designers. Check out the descriptions, and hopefully we can someday host a similar conference at NU.
