["Jim Tobias" <tobias@inclusive.com>]

Dear Colleagues

We are pleased to invite you to our seminar entitled 'Towards a
User-Friendly Web' which will take place on April 7th in
Amsterdam. This seminar is designed to provide participants with
practical tips on ways to make web sites more user-friendly.
Topics will cover design, appliances, functionality, effectiveness
and interfaces.

The seminar will feature the following speakers:

- Jacob Nielsen,user advocate and co-owner of the Nielsen
Norman Group,
- Bruce Tognazzini,lead designer for Healtheon,
- Brenda Laurel, designer researcher and writer, whose work
focuses on interactive narrative, Human Computer Interaction,
and cultural aspects of technology,
- Ben Shneiderman, Professor of Computer Science and Head
of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory at the University
of Maryland at College Park,
-  Donald A. Norman, Professor Emeritus of the University of
California at San Diego and co-owner and computer consultant
of the Nielsen Norman Group,
- Danielle van Diemen, head of Internet research at ACS-i.

These speakers are user experience pioneers: they defended users and
usability before it became popular to do so.

The final event of the day will be a panel discussion, chaired by Peter
Kentie,
in which all five top user interface experts will answer your questions!
The costs of the seminar (which includes lunch) is 790 Euro.
