Submit Your Event Highlights

Our hope is that each event will submit a summary of the highlights of their event as close to the completion of their event as possible or during their event. This will enable people around the world to participate in every event on World Usability Day by reading, seeing photos and watching videos in as close to real time as possible. This is critical to being listed on our final roster of events for 2006 post -World Usability Day.

We want to make this simple for you and have created a process that will allow our content editors around the world to get your information posted as quickly as possible. Please keep in mind we are trying to work through all of the time zones and provide support round-the-clock.

We have created a template for you to enter your information.
Please note: This is for submission of text. All videos and photos will be uploaded to galleries that we have set up. The links are provided below.

Please submit your event highlights to: events@worldusabilityday.org
