Several of us saw Jared Spool at MAX at the excellent Intuitive Interfaces seminar.
He founded a UX consultancy called User Interface Engineering (be sure to sign up for the UIEtips newsletter) They hold a conference every year, the User Interface 12 Conference is November 5-8. Check out this seminar:
