Indiana's UXPA's event will "Ignite" WUD

The general theme for our World Usability Day 2012 event is the Usability of Financial Systems, but the Indiana event planning team will include a discussion of the impact of the recent decision to change the organization name from UPA (Usability Professionals Association) to UXPA (User eXperience Professionals Association) as well as two Ignite sessions - each presenter gets 5 minutes and 8 slides to highlight their research or UX tool or other related topic, we will squeeze in as many ideas as possible and then have time for discussion too.

If you can get to Indianapolis we invite you to join us.
