Montreal, September 24th 2009 – Yu Centrik, an independent firm specialized in usability and user experience, is proud to announce its partnership with UXalliance.

UXalliance is an international organization gathering the best user experience firms in the world under a common objective: maintaining consistency and high standards while conducting globalized user experience research.

Since its inception in 2005, UXalliance has been gaining momentum through more than 250 international projects with its partners, testing 15 000 participants in 20 countries.

We are proud of what we have accomplished so far, and even prouder to promote the UXalliance to our customers and colleagues in Quebec and Canada.

Yu Centrik will act as the sole Canadian representative of UXalliance.

We encourage you to contact us to see a presentation of our services and discuss possibilities for your projects!

Building on the success of our second ChitChat evening last year, Yu Centrik is repeating the festivities on Monday May 25th, at 5:30 pm.

Talk over a drink and watch a series of presentations on user experience – each one more interesting than the last!

The principle of the evening is simple:

• Presenters take turns to present a theme (a concept, a method, an idea, a philosophy, a discovery, a new trend).
• The phrase ‘ChitChat’ defines the evening:  presenters must demonstrate their concept in exactly 8 minutes, not a second longer.  The audience has 7 minutes to express reactions and interact with the presenter.
• Music, videos, demonstrations… a highly interactive experience awaits you!

The actress Sylvie Potvin will be our moderator for the evening, and Montreal musicians from the indie scene will be happy to contribute to the relaxed atmosphere.

Presenters:

1. Joe Malloch and Mike Collicutt (CIRMMT, Schulich School of Music, McGill): “From Real to Virtual: A Comparison of Input Devices for Percussion Tasks.”

2. Marcio Leibovitch (Yu Centrik): “Asphyxiation by information overload”

3. Jay Vidyarthi (Yu Centrik): “The Potential for Technology to Expand Human Communication”

4. David Jacques (Customer Input): “Beyond Product: Service Design and Customer Experience”

Date : Monday 25 May 2009
Time: 17h30
Venue: Ô Patro Vÿs located at 356 Mont-Royal East, one street to the west of St-Denis

RSVP: Admission is free but book your place with Chrystel Black: cblack@yucentrik.ca
