Integration: Designing for tomorrow. (September 30 - October 2 2010, Philadelphia USA)
A global, interconnected network of people and information is emerging faster than many of us can take pause to understand. We believe that the world faces great challenges we must address as a design community: from the socioeconomic digital divide to health care, sustainability to global poverty. This year, IDEA2010 in Philadelphia provides the perfect place where we as UX professionals can come together to exchange insights and share perspectives for designing better experiences across physical and virtual information spaces. IDEA2010 will be hosted at the unique Independence Seaport Museum on Oct 1st and 2nd with a workshop day at Messagefirst studios on September 30th. IDEA2010 is a design conference tailored for you. This year's unique mix of traditional presentations with structured activity time assures that you'll get high-level concepts from big thinkers, and the space to apply them with peers.

European Information Architecture Sixth Summit (September 23-25, 2010 - Paris, France)
Following our fifth successful European Information Architecture Summit, the planning committee thought it was time to share some of the background for our conference, our selection process, and our goals moving forward toward our next conference in Paris, France, September 23-25 2010. The need for a network. When we kicked off our first conference in Brussels, back in 2005, few attendees knew more than one or two other people in the room. Although there had been conferences on the fuzzy edges of information architecture and user experience in Paris, London, and Amsterdam, these had been highly local in character. There was no network of IA/ID/UX professionals, despite the important work being done through the individual CHI, STC, and UPA chapters.

A conference on designing for behaviour (September 13 2010, Brighton UK)
UX Brighton 2010 is an extension of one of our successful monthly meetings. It is the conference for the design and web technology community. Due to the success of the monthly meetups, we decided to turn the September meetup into a full blown one day event. This one day event gives wide exposure to some of the most recent captivating and provocative ideas on User Experience from all over the UK and Europe. The speakers combine the well-known, such as Rory Sutherland and Eric Reiss, with others who are yet to be discovered. It is an opportunity for the User Experience community to hear about and discuss design and behaviour in both theory and practise.

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!)

The Workshop by Peter Morville (October 16, 2007 - New York, USA)
As we venture beyond Web 2.0 and the undisciplined, unbalanced quest for sexy Ajaxian interaction at the expense of usability, findability, and accessibility, how do we reconcile the timeless principles of design and organization with new transmedia models of interaction, co-creation, tagging, and user participation? In this advanced seminar, Peter Morville draws upon stories, examples, case studies, and discussions to explore the future present of information architecture and user experience.

CoLIS is a series of international conferences for which the general aim is to provide a broad forum for the exploration and exchange of ideas in the field of library and information science (LIS). To be examined at CoLIS 6 are theoretical and empirical research trends in LIS, together with sociocultural and technical issues relating to our understanding of the various roles, natures, uses and associated relationships of information, information systems, information processes, and information networks. As in previous conferences in the series, this one, too, promotes an interdisciplinary approach to research.

Information Realities: Shaping the Digital Future for All (November 3-9, 2006: Austin, Texas US)
Information technology has enabled an expanding digital world, inextricably linked to our physical existence but revolutionary in terms of human creativity and thought. New technologies for mobile communication, massively distributed collaboration, and real-time information sharing are radically impacting human expressions, interactions and records. There is likely to be a continuing demand for powerful information organization, aggregation, and dissemination tools to harness these new information realities.

A conference on designing complex information spaces of all kinds (October 23-24, 2006: Seattle Public Library, Seattle WA USA)
Design problems are increasingly becoming information problems. Throughout their days, people are engaging with complex information to manage their lives. And designers now realize that information isn't simply this stuff you find -- the appropriate presentation of information helps people make sense of the world around them. This conference addresses issues of design for an always-on, always-connected world. Where 'cyberspace' is a meaningless term because the online and offline worlds cannot be made distinct. Where physical spaces are so complex that detailed wayfinding is necessary to navigate them. Where work processes have become so involved, and so digitized, that we need new means to manage those processes. This conference brings together people who are addressing these challenges head on. Speakers from a variety of backgrounds will discuss designing complex information spaces in the physical and virtual worlds.

After the success of last year’s Euro IA Summit, it was obvious we had to organise another one this year. In October 2005 IAs from all over Europe came together in Brussels. The theme then was ’Building Our Community’. This year we want to look at what it takes to be an IA in Europe. What are the things that we have in common? What are the specifc issues we have to deal with in our country or our business? How can we extend and build the practice of IA in Europe?

(September 30 - October 1, 2006: Sydney, Australia)
There has been ongoing demand for Information Architects in the Australian web industry, a demand which hasn't ceased, while at the same time there is scant support for professional development and community development. Although there has been demand for Information Architects, there are few of us here, and most of us don’t get the opportunity to work with, and learn from, our peers. While some of us have been lucky enough to travel to the various international conferences or attend the occasional workshop, we've pretty much learned “on the job”, from books, and from participating in internet forums. The latter means are not entirely satisfying.
