World Usability Day is the largest gathering of industry professionals, world-class academics, government leaders, and students facilitating the progression of usability, user experience, and user-centered design. Each year, the World Usability Day community holds over 150 events in more than 40 countries. Michigan State University’s event draws speakers and attendees from all parts of North America representing industry, government, and academia.

World Usability Day was founded to explore ways to ensure that the services and products important to life are easier to access and simpler to use.
