Meaningful Play 2008 is an interdisciplinary academic conference that explores the potential of games to entertain, inform, educate, and persuade in meaningful ways.
Whether designed to entertain or for more “serious” purposes, games have the potential to impact players’ beliefs, knowledge, attitudes, emotions, cognitive abilities, and behavior.
The submission topics included several things related to user experience:
- Exploring meaningful applications of games (such as games to change attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors; to exercise specific cognitive functions)
- Issues in designing meaningful play (such as game design for specific audience segments; using psychology and neuroscience to design and understand games)

Information Interaction in Context 2008 is a symposium by the Information Retrieval Specialist Group of the British Computer Society.
IIiX will explore the relationships between the contexts that affect information retrieval and seeking, how these contexts impact on information behavior, and how knowledge of information contexts can help design truly interactive information systems.
IIiX invites research contributions that approach information contexts from a broad range of perspectives, such as context surrounding documents, context influencing seeking, humans and their tasks, the context of information seekers and providers, the context of interactive search, and the technical contexts of information systems.

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.
