Information Architecture — IA — is the art and science of organizing information so that others can immediately make sense of it.
People who create websites, mobile interfaces and apps, emails, online content, printed content, libraries, stores, or user/customer experiences of any kind, use information architecture tools to ensure success.
World IA Day 2017 San Antonio is an opportunity to learn about, discuss, and get hands-on practice with:
-
Agile UX teaming
-
User research and usability studies
-
Wireframes and prototypes
-
and more!
