DESCRIPTION:If you build it\, they will come.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nMaybe.&#13\;
 \n&#13\;\nHow many times have you seen a product or app and thought to y
 ourself\, “Who would ever use that\,” or dealt with the frustration of t
 rying to operate something that feels like you need a degree in rocket s
 cience to figure out.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nOr maybe you don’t interact with th
 e product much\, but the noise it emits\, or vibrations its function cau
 ses\, drives you batty.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nNow\, imagine that your company d
 esigned that product\, built that website\, deployed that app… and count
 less users are muttering your name under their breath. Hundreds and thou
 sands of hours and dollars have been wasted and you have to go back to t
 he drawing board.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nDid you do the research to ensure your 
 product or technology would appeal to human wants\, needs and desires? F
 actoring in the human element seems like common sense\, but that piece o
 f the equation is often left out.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nIf you’re involved in b
 uilding a product or developing a technology that is or will be used by 
 humans\, you’ll want to join us for the March 31st Tech Tuesday. We’ll h
 ave Marcelino Alvarez\, CEO of Uncorked Studios\, a local product design
  agency doing awesome things\, talking with us about the importance of i
 ncorporating human factors and intuitive use into the design of products
  and digital environments.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWe’ll also have Renny Gleeson\
 , Global Director\, Interactive Strategy\, and Oonie Chase\, Director of
  Experience Design\, from Wieden+Kennedy talking about brand building an
 d failing harder at the intersection of strategy and human-centered desi
 gn.  &#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe evening's discussions should provide some inter
 esting and engaging conversation. We look forward to seeing you there!&#
 13\;\n&#13\;\n* Doors open at 5:45pm\, Speakers start promptly at 6:30pm
 &#13\;\n&#13\;\n* The main lobby doors lock at 7pm. Someone will be avai
 lable to let you in\, but please plan accordingly.&#13\;\n&#13\;\n* Pizz
 a and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. \n\nTags: ebay\, eBay Te
