Washington, D.C.—August 18-21, 2003
Join the Adaptive Path partners in our nation's capitol for a full week of valuable training, fantastic after-hours events, real-world case studies, and guest speakers.
You can take either workshop, Beyond Usability or The Business of User Experience, or you can take both of them and save a bunch. And it's all happening at the fabulous Watergate Hotel (yup, that Watergate), just minutes from the monuments and museums.
