The IA Element. Past, Present, and Future

Each part counts for its own purpose. But all elements must work together. The meaning behind it is the IA element.

The World IA Day was created to celebrate Information Architecture (IA) and to empower local leaders keep growing and sharing within their communities.

In 2020, more than anything, we want to reinforce this celebration – highlighting how IA is Elemental (or integral) to having the best results.

How IA ties and binds different ideas involved, the end users, the stakeholders, the designers and the developers. How IA is often the bridge element between them all and tying together through understanding. How IA filters the noise for a better collaboration for a growing community.

IA is essential, IA is key, IA is Elemental.

If you would like to attend our celebration, please bookmark this page and check back soon. We will be updating our content in the upcoming months. We look forward to seeing you!

  • Lynn Boyden Information Architect and Lecturer at Santa Monica College (Keynote Speaker) - Hidden in Plain Sight
  • Natalie Dunbar Enterprise Content Strategist - Information Architecture and Content Strategy: The Experience-Making Magic of Tidying Stuff: If we assume that content contained in information spaces is meant to be found, interacted with and consumed, what IA and Content Strategy have in common is a desire to improve wayfinding and navigation in those spaces to help users complete a task or transaction.
  • Geremy Mumenthaler Design Philosopher at Philosophie - The Architecture of Typography: Typography as a tradition favors strong structure born from the technology that created it. Just because the capabilities of using type have become virtually endless doesn’t mean we can’t learn from strong communication patterns of the past. You’ll learn a few things you can use today that will last you a lifetime.
  • Terri Rodriguez-Hong UX Tutor at CareerFoundry - How We Use IA to Structure Our Life: Taking information and learn how to alter the path, its okay if you make u-turns.

What does this numbers-first approach mean for the worlds of Information Architecture and Design? An analytics tool designer shares his reflections about the balance of data and human touch.
  • Matina Moreira Service Designer (Workshop Leader) - We are the data: In this workshop we will be gathering and analyzing data to address challenges from a user-centered perspective, putting into practice concepts learned from our speakers.
