Triangle UXPA is partnering with the students in FLUX at UNC-CH and the Hussman School of Journalism and Media to celebrate World Usability Day 2026 at the Curtis Media Center at UNC-Chapel Hill on November 12.

The theme of this year's World Usability Day is Designing a Sustainable Future with Ethical AI. In this interactive session we will discuss the designer's role in bringing human creativity to the development of usable, functional systems. 

Registration is limited to 60 attendees, so register early to ensure your spot.

The New AI: Alignment & Influence

How to align with people in the age of “You’re absolutely right.”

AI agents are eager to agree. People? Not so much. It’s easier than ever to build with AI, but are we building the right thing? AI is speeding up production, but now alignment and influence are the new bottleneck. Join this talk for practical takeaways on how to align with and influence people, so you can build the right thing together.

The Speaker and Facilitator: Tim Rosenberg

Tim is a Product Design leader with over 15 years of experience. He is currently Lead Product Designer at Glassdoor. He has worked on teams ranging from small startups to Big Tech enterprises to create consistent design systems that scale. 

He is currently on a mission to fix AI design slop with AI-ready design systems.
