IxDA Boston Event

 The Boston Chapter of the IxDA has been working hard to get off the ground, and we wanted to announce our first event. Jenifer Tidwell, author of "Designing Interfaces," and Interaction Designer badass - will be our first featured speaker. 

 Dr. Bill Gribbons, director of the HFID (Human Factors in Information Design) program at Bentley College has been gracious enough to host the event - which is really exciting because they have great space - and it brings visibility to perhaps the best IxD/IA program in the northeast. 

The event is September 20th, 2007, at 630pm - and is free to all IxDA members.

Originally founded in 2003 as the Interaction Design Group (IxDG), the Interaction Design Association (IxDA) was incorporated as a non-profit, member-supported organization in September 2005. IxDA is committed to serving the needs of the international interaction design community by

• disseminating information about interaction design standards, guidelines, patterns, and best practices
• providing tools and other resources for interaction designers
• assisting members of the interaction design community in obtaining employment through our planned
  • Jobs Board—on which employers can post job listings for staff and contract positions and members can post their resumes
  • Consultants Directory—through which consultants can offer their services to those seeking interaction design professionals
• providing a forum for the discussion of interaction design issues
• publishing news and other information about our organization through our Web site, newsletter, email announcements, press releases, and other media

IxDA sponsors all of these activities in pursuit of our mission.
