Thematically speaking...

We all do it.  Likely everyday.  

But do we ever stop to reflect on how much our profession relies on and benefits from collaboration? This year's conference will explore all the collaborative relationships, techniques, and team-oriented practices that enrich the UX profession.  It's a fitting theme as this year is the first time that UXPA International is creating joint conferences through collaborative efforts with UXPA DC and UXPA China.  More about the theme.
