Elizabeth Rosenzweig, founding director and chairperson for the annual world-wide World Usability Day event, WUD2018, confirmed today that Mandel’s suggested theme – “UX Consequences – When bad UX causes major real-world problems” – has been selected as the global theme for the 2018 world-wide event. World Usability Day has been celebrated around the world for 14 years. The 2017 event had 76 events held in 29 countries.

Mandel, a 25-year veteran independent user experience design and user research consultant, has focused his conference presentations for years on the effects of bad design, persuasive design and evil design. View Mandel’s presentations on Slideshare.
