World Usability Day at UMT Lahore Pakistan
Seems like a really positive movement in our tech crowd, recently ‘The Interaction Design Center’ organized ‘World Usability Day’ at the UMT campus here in Lahore. When i heard about the event i was a bit surprised as i never expected “A World Usability day” here in Pakistan, but really happy to know that it did.
I reached the event at around 10:20, expected start time was 10am but it started a little late so i was technically not a late comer. There was a tremendous energy and excitement in the people who organized it and the people who came to attended it. Imran hussain started off the event with a welcome note and Adnan was the official host and i guess the brains behind the event. Google sponsored the event along with a live international video link with the creator of Google MapMaker (Lalit Ktaragadda at Google India), quite interesting and well prepared presentation. The biggest turn off was the speech by the Dr. Tanvir Iqbal from UET lahore, seemed like he wasn’t prepared or was not well guided on what the actual event was about.
I couldn’t hang around to attend the complete event so i skipped off during the tea break as i had a bunch of tickets to resolve and work to look after but over all i really appreciate the effort, it a positive movement and i hope in future we get to see and attend many such tech conferences in Lahore.
