World IA Day is a one day event that happens simultaneously across the world. It's a free event and open to the public; attendees include information architects, user experience designers, scholars, students, content strategists, entrepreneurs, business leaders and others interested in learning and discussing information architecture!
World IA Day is about bringing the information architecture community together. We’re fostering links within the local communities and on a global scale. We’re sharing information, ideas, and research. We’re doing it through unconventional, exciting and engaging IA events this February right here in Seattle!
This year's theme is "Information Everywhere, Architecture Everywhere," and we're pleased to announce the following roster of speakers: Mike Doane from the UW iSchool, Pam Green from Microsoft, Cristen Carey from Avvo, Joshua Walker from Live Area Labs, Nick Finck from Facebook, and Nam-ho Park from Forum One.
Come join us!
Of course, we would be remiss not to thank our lovely and generous local sponsors... Many thanks to Moz, UW iSchool, ASIS&T PNC, UW HCDE, and Factor for making this event happen!
