The Human Factors Interest Group (HFIG) at the University of Toronto is pleased to be hosting IUW 2015 on November 21st, 2015. We welcome two keynote speakers this year: Ron Baecker, Emeritus Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto, and Paul Eisen, Director of User Experience Design at SapientNitro. There will be networking opportunities during the breaks, lunch, and dinner.
We invite students and postdocs to present their research at IUW 2015 in the form of a podium or poster presentation. IUW is a welcoming environment to share ideas, exchange feedback, and gain experience presenting research. We encourage all students to participate, as it is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in presenting their research as well as collecting feedback from their peers, keynote speakers, and attending faculty members.
