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.
