    <full-description>The most important asset of your design team is the information you gather about your users. When your team has the right information, it's easier to design usable, delightful, and successful products. When you don't, every little design decision is difficult.

We've created the two-day Usability Bootcamp to share proven techniques for understanding your users, gathering user feedback, and evaluating your designs. Expert usability professional, Christine Perfetti, has put together a fabulous program designed to improve your user research, usability testing, and evaluation skills.

Christine has helped dozens of companies and agencies improve their designs by bringing research into their process. You'll come away from these two days knowing how to plan your user research, conduct user interviews, run your in-person and remote usability tests, conduct advanced usability tests, and develop personas or to communicate the users' needs throughout your organization.

Special offer for Boxes and Arrows readers: Sign up using promotion code, "BOXES" and you can attend the two days for $795 - a savings of $300 off the final registration price.</full-description>
