9:00. -9:30 Global Keynote: Architecting a Connected World Stephanie Akkaoui Hughes Stephanie’s vision of Architecting Interaction explores how we can create contexts – physical, digital or other – that facilitate interactions and nurture connections. Architecting Interaction, like information architecture, is not an end in itself, but a process. It is a process centred on facilitating connectedness. It connects different stakeholders, helps them make sense of connections, and empowers them to continue building connections in and for the future. |

How do people seek professional communities? What role do these communities play in their career and lives? Volunteers with the World Information Architecture Association share their findings from conversations with people in the community. We focus on the story of how they found their “home” community. We learn about the decision they made when they leave a professional group. We invite the audience to help us think about opportunities to move the IA community forward. |
