About the initiative
A global awareness movement for usability.
World Usability Day brings together communities around the world to advocate for technology, products, and services that are easier to access, understand, and use.
Since 2005, World Usability Day has helped make usability visible across professional, educational, civic, government, and public communities. It is a day of education, celebration, and action, grounded in the belief that people should not have to struggle with systems that are confusing, inaccessible, or poorly designed.
WUI runs World Usability Day as one of its core global programs.
One connected story. WUI expands the community-building work of World Usability Day into year-round initiatives, education, partnerships, and projects.
