Lisa Herrod has been breath­ing a bit of life into the local scene by turn­ing the Social Usability Professionals Association mee­tups into a reg­u­lar event at The Arthouse in Pitt St. If you haven’t been before, these are a great oppor­tu­nity to mix with other local usabil­ity and UX peo­ple in a casual atmosphere.

You don’t have to be a UPA mem­ber to attend, if you’re work­ing in the area of UX or inter­ested in it, come along. It’s all about catch­ing up, meet­ing, mix­ing and talk­ing shop.

The next one is next Thursday, June 4^th — come along!

But it’s not all just hap­pen­ing in Sydney though. On the train­ing front, Tania Laing of Peak Usability, who will be speak­ing at Web Directions later this year, is also host­ing a col­lec­tion of full day work­shops in Melbourne Brisbane and Sydney next month:

• Melbourne, 3 June 2009 — Web appli­ca­tion design and inter­ac­tion design
• Brisbane, 23 June 2009 — Web appli­ca­tion design
• Brisbane, 24 June 2009 — Human char­ac­ter­is­tics and the­o­ret­i­cal prin­ci­ples for usable web appli­ca­tions, intranet and inter­net sites
• Sydney, 30 June 2009 — Introduction to User Centred Design tools and techniques
• Sydney — 1 June 2009 — Discount eval­u­a­tion tech­niques and how to con­duct usabil­ity tests
