Hi UXPA'ers!

Tomorrow night we are so excited to present World Usability Day 2017! The theme this year is INCLUSION.

We took this theme and looked at what's been (FINALLY) going on in our society - people are not taking it anymore and are speaking up about sexual, gender, race and abuse in general.

We're going to address this topic in 2 talks and some exercises and a tiny workshop:

• Margot Dear - Senior Director of User Experience at ADP - will look at how teams made up of people with diverse backgrounds make great products.
• Bianca Nasser - Adjunct Instructor and MFA Candidate, ArtCenter College of Design - Will talk about micro-aggressions, what they are and what to do about them in a exercise and mini-workshop.
• Town Hall - We'll break into groups to workshop and share solutions to what's going on in our workplaces and our lives in general
