The Person-Centered Design Unit (PDU) is thrilled to announce that the 6th Annual UX Symposium (UXSYM) will be held on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 8:30 AM EST to 6:00 PM EST at WPI in Worcester, MA. The User Experience Symposium (UXSYM) 2024 provides a platform that allows experts from industry and academia to come together to share their experiences and shape the future of UX research. This year’s theme focuses on harnessing the power of AI to create innovative and valuable user experiences. The event will provide a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge research and participate in discussions about the future of AI and UX with leading innovators in the field.

We are especially excited to share that Dr. Bill Albert, Founder and Principal of Global UX Partners, will deliver this year’s keynote address. Known for his exceptional leadership in UX and product innovation, Dr. Albert will present “How AI and Other Emerging Technologies Help (and Hurt) UX Research and Product Innovation,” which promises to be one of the most insightful highlights of the symposium.

In addition to the keynote, the program will feature an exciting lineup of industry leaders and product innovators. Program highlights include:
