We are the Iowa chapter of the Usability Professionals’ Association. UPA supports usability specialists, people from all aspects of human-centered design, and the broad family of disciplines that create the user experience in promoting the design and development of usable products.

Our members come from a range of backgrounds, companies and industries, and apply usability principles to a number of practical applications.

This site is intended to be an introduction to usability practitioners not yet a part of our group, a resource for usability professionals and students, and a community-building site for members of the group.

If you’re interested in joining, find out how on our membership page. If you would like to attend a meeting before joining, please contact us at upaiowa@gmail.com.

Have a topic that you want to present about? We welcome speakers/presentations on any usability subject. Please see our new reimbursement policy.
