CHIFOO Helps Make UPA Conference a Success
From June 8 - 12, CHIFOO members participated in the Usability Professional Association’s international conference, held in Portland for the first time. It was a week-long immersion in all aspects of usability, starting with two days of workshops and tutorials, followed by three more days of speakers and conference sessions.
Practitioners came from more than 20 countries to share their knowledge with each other, solve common problems, network, and learn the latest techniques from innovators in the field. It was an amazing educational experience and networking opportunity.
Local Help Key to Hospitality Effort
In addition to introducing speaker sessions, stuffing bags, judging the student competition, and presenting on panels, CHIFOO members cheerfully staffed the Hospitality Booth, greeting visitors and helping them find their way around Portland. As perfect Stumptown ambassadors, enthusiastic guides hosted Dinners for Eight at local restaurants—a big hit with all who particpated.
Thanks to these enthusiastic and helpful volunteers: Demetra Gilmore Arnett, Callie B. Carroll, Evan Dickinson, Neil Doxtader, Lynne Fitzsimmons, Leo Frishberg, Fellene Gaylord, Barbara Karyukin, Janna Kimmel, Ann Marcus, Nancy McClure, Dick Miller, Yelena Nakhimovsky, Pechluck Pongched, Jackie Scherer, and Samantha Soma. We couldn’t have done it without your help!
