Designing Great User Experiences

That’s what Canux, the Candian User Experience Workshop, has been about since 2005. But today, it’s not enough to focus just on good design research, information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, or usability testing. Instead, with today’s economy we’re asked to create those great experiences with less: less time, less money, or fewer people on the team.

Our Theme: Doing More with Less

That’s what we’re being asked to do in our work, and that’s we’re talking about at Canux 2009. This year, Canux is about learning how to be a more effective UX practitioner and do better work even when we have less to do it.

Who Should Come?

Designers, developers, marketing and communications and user experience pros who want to learn practical how-to methods for designing better user experiences on a budget.
