Barbara Ballard has been organizing an event in the U.S. focused on mobile design and user experience. I think it is great, and I would be great to have the Global mobile community participate and help educate the rest of us. From the DesignForMobile website:
September 23-24, 2008 — Design For Mobile will be the first North American mobile user experience conference. This will be a two-day conference focused on strategy and tactics for user research, product definition, interaction and other design, and usability testing. A day of workshops and training will precede the conference sessions.
If all goes well, I am planning to be there… I you want to speak/present, contact Barbara.
