Usability: Whose Problem is it Anyway? February 26, 2007

Welcome a new event from NMK – Usability: Whose Problem is it Anyway?

Building on the ever-growing popularity of its evening events - such as Beers & Innovation – NMK will be introducing a new range of topics and tackling the more philosophical and tricky problems that face the new media industry.

The Premise
In a recent survey by Nomensa, 98 per cent of the 100 websites analysed didn't reach industry standards on programming code and 89 per cent were difficult to navigate. In the present atmosphere of growth and in a world of web 2.0 - where interactivity and contribution are king - who's problem is this: Developers? Designers? Publishers? W3C? The government? Firefox? Microsoft? Bloggers? Software producers? The creators of Flash and AJAX? Agencies? Advertisers? Disabled rights organisations?

A jargon free evening where our panel will wade through the confusion and mess, attempting to provide some answers as to making the web a friendlier place.

After which there will be the opportunity to pitch in, share thoughts and ask the panel some searching questions.

The Panel
(Chair) Kathryn Corrick, new media consultant
Stefan Haselwimmer, managing director, UsabilityExchange
Further speakers TBC.

COST: £15
