Happy World Usability Day 2017!
Today marks the 14th anniversary since World Usability Day (WUD) was launched in 2004.
People around the world will gather together today, the second Thursday of November, to discuss and learn about creating user-friendly products and services.

How I’m Celebrating World Usability Day
I’ll be celebrating World Usability Day at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan during the day, listening to five speakers talking about usability and inclusive design.
In the evening, I’m co-hosting (as Refresh Detroit co-leader) the fourth World Usability Day, Detroit at Grand Circus in downtown Detroit with Elle Waters as our guest speaker.
What are you doing for World Usability Day?
