Time for IXDA, eh?

ISITE joined the world’s leading interaction designers last week in Vancouver, BC at Interaction ’09. But don’t fret if you missed attending in person. Our own Jeanne Turner and the Portland IxDA chapter are hosting a meetup on February 17 (at ISITE PDX) to recap the event in full (Rumor: Jared Spool may swing by).
