This year, instead of hosting the World IA day like we did over the last couple of years, we brought our own UX conference UXify that we've been running very successfully in Sofia (Bulgaria) to North America.
UXify was hosted on April 11 at the Infragistics world headquarters in Cranbury, NJ. Our theme was "The Future of UX Design". We had an impressive line-up of speakers who shared their experiences and inspired great discussions. For anybody who could not attend the event or who wants to watch the presentations again, here are the videos.
