About World IA Day

World Information Architecture Day is a one-day annual celebration hosted by the Information Architecture Institute and held in dozens of locations across the globe. World IA Day 2018 is taking place in 56 individual locations across 25 countries and 5 continents. Our celebration in Des Moines will be the 5th World IA Day held here.

Meet People in your community

We are a community of like-minded professionals and enthusiasts who share the common goal of practicing, learning, teaching, and shaping the future of information architecture and user experience. We share our thoughts, ideas, and work within an open and welcoming environment. Everyone is welcome and our celebrations are always accessible to all.

Program

There is a mix of presentations and workshops on topics drawing from the worlds of information architecture, user experience design, content strategy, product strategy, marketing, and more. We'll start the event with a keynote by Scott Kubie from Brain Traffic. From there, you can choose sessions throughout the day.
