IA Summit 2008

Experiencing Information (April 10-14, 2008 - Miami USA)
The Information Architecture Summit is the premier gathering place for information architects. Everyone who touches on IA is welcome to share and learn. (...) The IA Summit is the premier gathering place for those responsible for the structural design of shared information environments; those who dabble or dive into the art and science of organizing and labeling information to support usability and findability; and anyone interested in the community of practice that brings principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape. The Summit is most definitely a community conference. It is sponsored & run by ASIS&T and is planned by a hard-working group of volunteers from IA and like disciplines. The conference program is heavily influenced by feedback from the previous year’s summit and blind peer reviews of submissions (this year 50 reviewers completed over 1000 reviews on 180 submissions!)
