UI14: Ten reasons you should go (Nov ‘09, Boston)

One of my favorite UI/UX conferences is the User Interface Conference, now in it’s 14th year. It’s held in Boston, and runs Nov 1-3rd this year.

I strongly recommend this thing all the time, and here’s my top ten reasons you should go:

  1. It’s in Boston, which kicks ass
  2. It has first rate sessions on IA, Visual Design, Prototyping and more
  3. The size is small – you meet and chat with lots of people. Networking++
  4. You get $50 off per day if you use the code: BERKUN, plus I’ll buy you a beer*
  5. There’s a sweet mix of workshops and featured talks
  6. These folks have a sense of humor which makes learning and socializing easy
  7. If you sign up with 2 or more people, it’s $150 off (UI14 loves your coworkers)
  8. It’s the first place I’ll speak about my new book, Confessions of a Public Speaker
  9. If you get a PDF version of the materials, it’s $75 off (UI14 cares about the planet and your wallet)
  10. Todd Zaki Warfel, Dan Rubin, Jared Spool, and on it goes
  11. (bonus) I’m teaching about creativity and innovation, in a top rated workshop
  12. (bonus bonus) Speaker feedback effects speaker bonuses (I love this)

* I get a chunk of that discount. Which will pay for several of your beers.

You can read all the details here or jump straight to registration.  Use the code: BERKUN.

Early bird discount ends Friday.

    See you there. W00t!

  • Awesome! I’m signing up for the conference right now, but I was torn between the Tuesday workshops: yours or Todd’s? Sorry to say I chose Todd’s.. But I’m using your code, so hopefully I can meet you over a beer! :)
