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.

This year's theme is The IA Element. Each part counts for its own purpose. But all elements must work together. The meaning behind it is the IA element. 

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.

WHY ATTEND? 

WIAD brings awareness to the importance of information architecture and gets the word out about this important practice, so more people can better educate themselves and others on it. It helps to bring together passionate professionals, new students, and curious seekers in a safe and welcoming environment where learning is encouraged.

At WIAD, we typically have diverse speakers, panels, and/or workshops devoted to celebrating information architecture in practice in the world around us. Have you ever grouped information into categories to make sense? Have you ever walked through the grocery store trying to find which aisle is home to the tomato paste? Have you ever arranged items into a list chronologically or alphabetically? If so, you have had an experience with information architecture! We seek to acknowledge and celebrate and educate around those experiences.
