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:
- It’s in Boston, which kicks ass
- It has first rate sessions on IA, Visual Design, Prototyping and more
- The size is small – you meet and chat with lots of people. Networking++
- You get $50 off per day if you use the code: BERKUN, plus I’ll buy you a beer*
- There’s a sweet mix of workshops and featured talks
- These folks have a sense of humor which makes learning and socializing easy
- If you sign up with 2 or more people, it’s $150 off (UI14 loves your coworkers)
- It’s the first place I’ll speak about my new book, Confessions of a Public Speaker
- If you get a PDF version of the materials, it’s $75 off (UI14 cares about the planet and your wallet)
- Todd Zaki Warfel, Dan Rubin, Jared Spool, and on it goes
- (bonus) I’m teaching about creativity and innovation, in a top rated workshop
- (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.
I would love to check it out!
I’ll be there, too! Talking about advanced user research techniques and how to get constant user feedback in just 2 hours every week.
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! :)
