Persuasive Design: Putting it to use

UPDATE: Luke Wroblewski was previously scheduled. Please see our updated event below.

Schedule:

7:30 - 8:30 - Talk / Q & A

Humans are far from perfectly logical. There have been a slew of new books out there linking what Psychologists have known for years about our everyday behavior and associated deviations from logic. However, we're only just beginning to use some of these principles effectively online. Find out what the principles are, see pragmatic examples of what we're talking about and how you might be able to put them to work for you. Bring in your site or web address and we can discuss it in context.

Event sponsored by Loop¹¹ is giving away one free Loop¹¹ usability test valued at $350, to each attendee of the event. Learn more about Loop¹¹ below!
