Even though there are thousands of practicing information architects,
there are few venues for them to meet and swap stories. "Refining
our Craft" is the third in the ASIS&T-sponsored series of
conferences that are the largest dedicated meeting places for information
architecture professionals.
This edition balances practical applications and case studies of
information architecture with the big picture thinking of some of
the field's leading figures. This summit is an inclusive event, bringing
together people from business and academia with a variety of perspectives
that include information architecture, human-computer interaction,
visual design, experience design, and usability testing. The three-day
conference will feature invited talks by Steve Krug, Founder of Advanced
Common Sense, a usability consultancy and Peter Morville, President
and Founder of Semantic Studios, a leading information architecture
and knowledge management consulting firm.
This year's summit also adds three exciting preconference seminars
by industry leading groups: Carbon IQ; Apaptive Path, and Semantic
Studios.
As in past editions, audience participation is built into the meeting
during the regular program and at after hour Birds of a Feather sessions.
The early registration deadline is February 22.
