The About, With, and For conference on user-centered design, scheduled for Oct. 28-29 in Chicago, has announced its lineup. This year's theme is 'Work > Play' and it's described like this:

People work. People play. Are they independent aspects of life or can play facilitate work?

The 2005 AWF conference will explore how products and services, arrived at through user-centered design research, can aid in making work more productive, profitable and fun.

The list of scheduled speakers is here. The conference schedule is http://id.iit.edu/events/awf/schedule.html. Discounted but still ridiculously high registration rates are good until Oct. 7th, after which the fees really go off into the stratosphere.
