WORKSHOP: Steve Krug and Lou Rosenfeld - IA and Usability
Gurus Offer Workshops

Steve Krug and Lou Rosenfeld are on the road offering their popular, back-to-back, day-long web usability and information architecture
seminars. Discounts are available for early registration, for groups of three or more, and for registering for both seminars. Details follow:

--- Don't Make Me Think: The Web Usability Workshop (with Steve Krug)
Tampa - April 10, 2006: $795; $695 by March 17
Austin - May 12, 2006: $795; $695 by April 21
Philadelphia - June 2, 2006: $795; $695 by May 15

Expanding on the topics in his best-selling Web usability book, Steve's workshop will teach you how to recognize and solve the usability problems in your own site, and how to make low-cost/no-cost testing an everyday part of your company's design process. The day includes a live usability test and expert reviews of a number of websites using URLs submitted by attendees--perhaps even your own.

More info and registration: http://www.sensible.com/workshops.html

This day-long seminar will help you convert a disjointed collection of content silos into a unified, user-centered web site or intranet. Coverage includes a combination of design recommendations, governance advice, and research methods that work in the highly political and often nasty environment known as the enterprise. The seminar combines lecture, discussion, and group exercises.
