The Usability Professionals’ Association supports usability specialists, people from all aspects of human-centred design, and the broad family of disciplines that create the user experience in promoting the design and development of usable products. UPA is an IRS-recognized and non-profit organization. It is established under IRC section 501(c)6. UPA Singapore is a chapter of UPA and it is a not-for-profit group. This Chapter shall engage only in activities that conform to Singapore government’s law and Association's goals and policies.

The goal of UPA Singapore Chapters is to offer people with the same interest to come together regularly to share their experience and to encourage each other in the usability profession. The focus is on truly local activities connecting usability professionals with each other. Business meetings with invited speakers, Usability lab tours and Usability roundtables, where you can bring interesting usability problems to be solved jointly, are some examples of what a Singapore Chapter may offer. Above all; it provides a handy and convenient network for everyday access.

 Our goals are to:

• Provide an international network through which usability professionals can share information about the techniques and methodologies in the profession.
• Create an inclusive community for those interested in usability, whether it is their primary focus or a related discipline.
• Change new product development processes to include a concern for the people who use them by presenting the business case for usability in product development to colleagues, customers, the public and governmental agencies.
• Increase the body of knowledge about usability and user-centered design through professional education, meetings and conventions and other professional interchanges
