WUD 2024 Theme

Announcing the World Usability Day 2024 Theme:

Designing for a Better World

Designing for a Better World is both hopeful and practical. This year, we will organize events that demonstrate all the different ways that better design can improve our world. We take a Universal design approach to ensure the work is inclusive and diverse and reflects our aspirations.

In addition to computer systems, devices, and software, look at architecture, environment, and service design.
