Attending the UX Web Summit today was a great refresher on the topic of User Experience. The web conference hosted by Environments for Humans was the first I have attended and won’t be the last. The conference covered User Experience at every stage of the development process, from the original concept down to the final design. Majority of the techniques covered at the conference are all taught at Washtenaw Community College in the Internet Professional Program (my alma mater). Some new techniques that caught my eye were the use of Page Descriptions Diagrams and Content Strategy, both brought up by Nick Finck of BlueFlavor.com. Two techniques that I will most definitely add to my arsenal of Usability Research.

Overall I enjoyed the conference and the great presenters who all have years experience working for successful companies. Instead of having the users experience in the back of my mind during some stages of development it will be at the front during every stage of the development process.
