About World
Usability Day
World Usability Day was founded in 2005 as an initiative of the Usability
Professionals' Association to ensure that services and products important to
human life are easier to access and simpler to use. Each year, on the second
Thursday of November, events are organized around the world to raise awareness
for the general public, and to train professionals in the tools and issues
central to good usability research, development and practice. More than 40,000
people in 180 cities in 43+ countries participated in World Usability Day 2008.
The global World Usability Day theme for 2009 is, “Designing for a Sustainable
World.”

the international Usability Professionals' Association. NEOUPA provides monthly
events throughout the year on various topics related to usability for
individuals interested in, involved in or responsible for Web sites,

“Usability, or the act of making a product or system easy to use for the
people who intend to use it, is essential to good design. According to Nielsen

launching a redesigned Web site based on a good usability process,” says
