World IA Day 2014 - Chicago is a free, 1-day event where attendees will explore how we can use Information Architecture thinking to make the world a better place. We will encourage speakers to take both the academic and business-centric ideas of our industry and push the boundaries of what can be achieved through thoughtful IA.
Our Chicago event will feature local and national speakers as well as workshops,
debates, and panel sessions.
