IxDA Announces Interaction 09 at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, B.C.

The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) is pleased to announce Interaction09, to be held February 5-8, 2009 in conjunction with Simon Fraser University’s School of Interactive Arts + Technology and Faculty of Business Administration, located in lovely Vancouver, B.C. Mark your calendars now for what promises to be another exciting and informative conference centered around the design of interactive systems of all types, from web and desktop applications, to mobile devices, consumer electronics, digitally-enhanced environments, and more. This will be our growing community’s second annual opportunity to gather with several hundred other Interaction Design professionals from around the world.

Following the successful format of Interaction 08 at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Interaction 09 will span four days, with two main conference days preceded by two pre-conference days. Thursday Feb 5 will be devoted to a diverse and valuable series of professional workshops. Friday Feb 6 will be a busy and exciting day, with tours and opportunities to explore SFU, its surrounding community and Vancouver, along with leadership and organizing activities. There will be an opening keynote Friday afternoon.

Saturday Feb 7 and Sunday Feb 8 will be packed with inspirational and tactical sessions geared to (or for) anyone who practices Interaction Design. We look forward to Interaction 09 continuing to build on the quality of experience and community camaraderie we shared this year in Savannah.

Stay tuned for more updates!
