UPA Istanbul Chapter is established to form a community for fostering growth of Usability Profession in Turkey under the umbrella of Usability Professionals’ Association (www.upassoc.org)
UPA supports people who research, design, and evaluate the user experience of products and services.
The UPA was established in 1991 and continues to be the organization of choice for usability professionals worldwide.

In 2004, the UPA established World Usability Day, which in 2009 was celebrated in over 40 countries.
