IA Summit 2005—Summit Program

Program Overview

Information architecture is more widely applied than ever. Decisionmakers now accept IA as critical to well-designed electronic information spaces. Practitioners use IA approaches and methodologies, and routinely include IAs on cross-disciplinary teams.

There is a growing demand for IAs and greater pressure on managers and non-IA practitioners to understand IA principles. To support these needs, this year's Summit focuses on key topics, cutting-edge issues, and core competencies.

  • Pre-conference workshops deliver insightful and practical coverage of topics key to participants' areas of interest.
  • Regular program sessions deliver best practices, theoretical discussions, case studies, and research findings - some using unique approaches.
  • The poster session showcases visual demonstrations of IA ideas, deliverables, and accomplishments. Presenters will be available at their posters to discuss their work.
  • The Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions provide more informal opportunities to continue discussions on areas of particular interest to participants.
