Higher Education Web Symposium

Our friends at Penn are sponsoring a two-day web usability conference this July. The price is extremely reasonable ($300) with some big names presenting on CSS, Ajax, form design and usability testing. Although the focus is nominally on higher education, good usability practices can be applied anywhere.

Official announcement follows:

On July 15th & 16th, the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine will host the Higher Education Web Symposium.

This two-day conference will provide tools, tips and techniques for web designers, developers, programmers, and project managers to help us all create better and more usable applications and websites. Jared Spool leads off the all star cast of presenters. Additional scheduled presenters include: Eric Meyer, Dana Chisnell, Stephanie Sullivan, and others!

In addition to the formal presentations, you will have the opportunity to meet colleagues dealing with all the same pressures and clients.

This two-day conference is available for only $299, which includes: two full days of workshops, keynote address, and presentations of your choice. The first 200 registrants will be entered in a drawing for a MacBook Air.
