If you are in Hyderabad, this is one event you can’t afford to miss. A long list of celebrity speakers are attending (including my fav Professor at IIT). I’d love to be a fly in the wall of this interesting conference. I hope they have a live/offline web telecast.

Organized by UsabilityMatters.Org, this is a 9 day exhibition starting Nov 14th in Hyderabad, India. Check out the Event Calendar for lots of interesting contests and keynote addresses.

Contests which are open to all:

1. Boycott Bad Design Prize (prizes $700)
   If the ketchup bottle cap making a mess on your table? Is the Freezer door handle hard to grab? – Send in your examples of bad design with a photograph, and those products will be put to shame in the conference, as they deserve to be.
2. International Cartoon Contest (prizes worth $1,300)
   Compete with International Cartoon stars in this juried contest.
