Get ready for an epic milestone on November 14, 2024! For two decades, this amazing grassroots movement has brought together passionate innovators worldwide to champion user-centered design.
2024 Theme: Designing for a Better World
The theme of “Designing for a Better World” is demonstrated in many ways such as architects and urban planners creating accessible public spaces, companies focusing on eco-friendly packaging, software developers prioritizing inclusive digital design, community engagement platforms enhancing civic participation, sustainable transportation solutions prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists, educational materials designed for inclusivity, and green architecture emphasizing energy efficiency and occupant well-being. These efforts contribute to a more accessible and environmentally conscious world.
World Usability Initiative
The goal of the World Usability Initiative (WUI) is to connect the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and the User Experience (UX) community and everyone who believes that great design is inclusive and usable by all, to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals by establishing World Usability Day as an internationally observed day, listed on the United Nations calendar. WUI launched the Design Challenge in 2020 and the Speaker Series in 2021. Help us achieve this goal of being engaged in our global community to design for a better world.
