[IxDA Discuss] Personas tutorial at HCI 2007, Lancaster, UK

[Peter Bagnall]

Colleagues.

You may be aware that the BCS HCI 2007 conference is fast approaching  
and this year will be held at Lancaster University from the 3rd-7th  
of September. As in previous years the Monday and Tuesday are given  
over to Tutorials and Workshops, and this year I'm offering a  
tutorial on Personas entitled "Using Personas Effectively" on Monday  
3rd. The tutorial will run for the whole day.

I'll be explaining how to create and use personas, and some of the  
theory explaining how and why they work, interspersed with practical  
sessions and topped off with a Q&A session where I'll be happy to  
discuss any personas you might already be using and  how the method  
might fit into your organisation.

You can find the detailed blurb on my tutorial here...

and general conference details here...

You can register for the conference online, and if you do so by the  
5th of August you'll get a discount both on the conference and the  
tutorial.

Do of course feel free to pass this on to any colleagues you feel  
might find the tutorial or conference interesting.

Cheers
--Pete
