CanUX 2008

Jess and Gene and the nForm crew are hosting another CanUX workshop in Banff this November. They have managed to put together a fantastic group of user experience design speakers. The CanUX event is a very intimate venue that is limited to 75 attendees. You get a great opportunity to connect with other user experience professionals and engage with everyone in a very personal environment. The sessions provided by the Banff Centre for the Arts are some of the most engaging executive training sessions that round out the sit back and learn engagement. Just check out the speakers coming to share their stories and experiences:

• Lisa Anderson & Dennis Wixon, Microsoft Surface
• Dave Gray, XPLANE
• Brandon Schauer, Adaptive Path
• Luke Wroblewski, Yahoo!

CanUX comes immediately after StartupEmpire in Toronto. I am clearing my schedule to travel to Banff and spend some quality time at a great user experience conference. That and apparently ski season opens at Sunshine on November 7, 2008 so wax up your board(s) and get ready to for a UX conference that is unparalleled in intimacy. It is a great conference for designers looking for an opportunity to connect with other designers and speakers in an intimate environment, to learn about techniques, methods and tools to improve their craft. It is a great conference for developers looking to expand their understanding of how designers, developers and strategists work together on real world projects.
