R.S. Wurman @EG'07

"I did a fable in 1975, called The Architecture of Information, was running the AIA national conference with 5,000 people. Even I could not do the keynote at a conference I was chairing, that was too over the top, so decided not to have a keynote. Wrote a keynote fable, a historic fable of the future. One of my favorite books. The main character was the commisioner of Curiosity and Imaginition. First thing he does is change the laws of copyright to the right to copy, he flipped everything in society and flipped it. The only thing you could copyright was bad ideas. One new department, Waiting to be Wanted. Dedicated to old buildings and old people. Life didn't come from chloroform. They found life coming from hot sulfur water, or cold methane gas."

Conference Review UPA 2007: Part I/II

"This year's theme focused on Patterns and how they serve as 'blueprints for usability'. Conference co-chair, Carol Smith articulated the pertinence of this theme. “As usability professionals, our ability to observe users and to discover their patterns of interaction is integral to our work. By defining these patterns, we can then leverage that knowledge to create usable interfaces that are familiar and useful to our users." - (Joi L. Roberts - UXmatters)

Conference Review: CHI 2007

"I had a wonderful time at CHI despite the limited amount of content for designers and my being unable to get into the courses I'd wanted to attend. I particularly regret missing Kim Goodwin's course, 'Where Usability Meets Desirability: Visual Design with Personas and Goals.' I heard it was great. To enable CHI to reach its full potential in coming years, I hope its organizers take an iterative approach to designing the conference and solve the problems that exist."

Institute of Design Strategy Conference 2007: A review from Chicago

"Soft-spoken Whitney was setting up the program for the Institute's annual Strategy Conference he chairs, which took place this past May, and which has become the key English-speaking forum for discussing and investigating the new relationships emerging between design and business. 'This conference seems to get bigger and better every year', claimed Doblin figurehead (and Institute affiliate) Larry Keeley in his summing up of the first day. And not without merit as, a poll of the 300-strong audience revealed, one quarter of that audience had attended the previous year." (Nico Macdonald - Core77) - courtesy of markvanderbeeken

Euro IA Summit Wrap-Up

"This was an excellently organized and successful first European IA summit. It gave Europe a platform to show its unique accomplishments, raised awareness of how much IA is going on in Europe, and ultimately put European IA on the IA map without being a subset of the North America summit. (...) there was a definite need to recognize the European identity framed by what Europe can potentially do better than, say, the U.S., such as with mobile technology or with multilingual and multicultural issues. This awareness of a divide was perhaps the single negative aspect one could attribute to the summit, and it was also one of the most revealing. Europe needn't live in the shadow of North American summits, but will Europeans harness their unique competencies?" (Deborah Gover - Boxes and Arrows)

European IA Summit: Building Communities

"The first European Information Architecture (IA) Summit's focus is on building the IA community in Europe. The objective of the event is to bring together a number of disciplines and practitioner communities by providing a stimulating environment for debate and an opportunity for establishing cooperation. This community is not just limited to language or region, but all encompasses our specialization's like designing for mobile devices, and multilingual solutions. We are calling for papers that reflect those communities of practice, language and location." (ASIS&T) - Highly recommended.
