Wir freuen uns bekannt geben zu können, dass die nächste deutschsprachige Konferenz für Informationsarchitektur im Mai 2009 in Hamburg stattfinden wird.
Hamburger Wappen Ab 2009 wird die Konferenz jährlich jeweils im Mai stattfinden, um Terminkollisionen mit anderen relevanten Konferenzen und Events zu reduzieren und um die IA Konferenz zu einem festen Termin im Berufsumfeld der Informationsarchitektur und User Experience zu etablieren. Und nicht zuletzt, um der Kälte des Novembers zu entfliehen und das hoffentlich mildere Maiwetter genießen zu können …
Die IA Konferenz 2009 wird wieder international bekannte Sprecher, inspirierende Vorträge, intensive Workshops und vielfältige Postersessions bieten.
Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf eine großartige IA Konferenz nächstes Jahr in Hamburg. An dieser Stelle finden Sie in Kürze weitere Informationen zum Motto der Konferenz und zur Möglichkeit der Einreichung von Konferenzvorträgen.

Innovate 2008 is the 2nd Annual Creativity & Innovation Business Conference. The theme is Designing the Innovative Workplace. It is September 26, 2008, at DePaul University, Chicago, IL.
The spaces in which we work can be configured to promote collaboration, communication, and experimentation – key elements of organizational culture that result in innovation and high performance. Today’s business leaders recognize the importance of designing a workspace that not only considers functionality, but also connects and aligns individuals and teams with the company’s vision and strategy. Effective design can enable workers to achieve the creative collaboration necessary to produce novel products, services, and technologies for enhanced consumer experiences and business growth.
The 2008 Conference brings together business and academic leaders, as well as experts in design and innovation. Register here.

The Interaction Design Association (IxDA) is pleased to announce Interaction|09, to be held February 5-8, 2009 in conjunction with Simon Fraser University’s School of Interactive Arts + Technology, and the Faculty of Business, located in lovely Vancouver, B.C. Mark your calendars now for what promises to be another exciting and informative conference centered around the design of interactive systems of all types, from web and desktop applications, to mobile devices, consumer electronics, digitally-enhanced environments, and more. This will be our growing community’s second annual opportunity to gather with several hundred other Interaction Design professionals from around the world.
Building on the successful format of Interaction 08 at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Interaction 09 will span four days, with two and a half main conference days preceded by 1 ½ days of pre- conference workshops and activities. Thursday will be devoted to a diverse and valuable series of professional workshops. Friday will be a busy and exciting day, with tours, additional workshops and opportunities to explore SFU, its surrounding community and Vancouver, along with leadership and organizing activities in the morning. The conference will open Friday afternoon, with a welcoming reception that evening.
Saturday and Sunday will be packed with inspirational and tactical sessions geared at anyone who practices Interaction Design. We look forward to Interaction 09 continuing to build on the quality of experience and community camaraderie we shared this year in Savannah.
In addition to invited speakers, we will be welcoming speaking proposals for sessions on Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned for that and other exciting announcements.
Are you interested in becoming a much-appreciated sponsor for Interaction 09? Contact sponsorships at ixda.org. This is a great opportunity to support the IxDA community!

Third European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, EC-TEL 08, invites all researchers across the different fields of TEL (education, psychology, computer science, etc.) to contribute to the scientific landscape of technology enhanced learning.
Technologies have spread across a variety of learning contexts. They are used in formal (primary, secondary and higher) education, corporate training and lifelong learning. Large corporations are creating campuses, which reveals their convergence with universities. Technologies are used in general curricula as well as in vocational training. The spread of mobile devices, social learning techniques and personalization technologies is closing the gap between formal and informal learning. Recent developments promote the integration of individual learning, small group collaboration as well as class-wide or community activities within a coherent pedagogical scenario. These scenarios combine activities that intensively rely on computers with activities that marginally use technologies. Such activities occur in the classrooms and in the training centres but also across multiple other spaces: offices, homes, cars, field trips, ski lifts, and so on. Most modern learning environments do not fit anymore within one pedagogical stream: they integrate heterogeneous software components such as a simulation tool, hypertext, an argumentation tool and a tutorial. Old barriers between different visions of learning technologies are fading out. A similar convergence is happening between research on knowledge management and technology enhanced learning.
