Madison Wisconsin Hosting User Experience Conference UXMAD July 19-21st

Seasoned business and technology event planners Jim and Jennifer Remsik have brought some great events to the city of Madison Wisconsin. Now they’re venturing out for another new conference which we’re sure is going to be a hit. The UXMAD conference is being held at the Overture Center on July 19-21 and is all about user experience.

Day 1 which is Thursday July 19th will feature a day filled with hands on workshops provided by top user experience talent including Ben Reinhart and Todd Larsen. Their workshop, which runs all day with a lunch break in the middle, is on Javascript. The other all day workshop is “Guerilla Design & Research Methods”.

Day 2 and 3 will feature top notch speakers including Andrew Maier, Founder of UXBooth; Jina Bolton, Product Designer at DO; Dale Sande, User Interface Engineer at Getty Images; Jeanne Carpenter, Founder of Wisconsin Cheese Originals; Carl Smith, Chief Keeper Upper at nGen Works and Jessie Shternshus, Founder of the Improv Effect.

Of course the conference also has great after parties on all three nights.


In an interesting twist the Remsik’s want attendees to experience all that downtown Madison has to offer. Instead of a traditional brown bag or boxed lunch, or even a catered lunch, UXMAD will have an extended lunch period and attendees will be given a food allowance to experience the food carts and restaurants in close proximity to the conference. Jim Remsik said: Madison is a city that is easy to fall in love with, all we had to do was play matchmaker.”

On our recent trip to Madison Cameron and I had great food from restaurants like Merchant and the Dane and we were even able to take in a few food truck delights because our trip to Madison was during their first concert on the square of this summer season. Madison is indeed one of the coolest and nicest cities we’ve been too.

It’s not too late to get signed up for UXMAD. The entire conference package is $299 which is a far cry from what a conference of this type would typically cost. Also the organizers tell us there are easter egg tweets available for $50 off, if you check out the speaker list. Links are below.
