A few of us were in Chicago last week for the IDEA 2008 conference
which focuses on information design in complex spaces and the excellent CanUX workshop takes place next month. You can ask us about what we learned at IDEA, questions about CanUX, or just come and relax in a friendly environment with colleagues, peers and people who are generally interested in good design.

Oz-IA/2008: Australia’s Information Architecture Conference (Sydney, Australia)
Thursday, August 21st, 2008 by Casey Glass| September 20, 2008 | to | September 21, 2008 |
Oz-IA invites your participation to this premier Australian event on Information Architecture for the web. Join them in Sydney, Australia on the weekend of September 20th-21st, 2008, for two incredible days of presentations, panels, and networking with information architects from across Australia and beyond.
Who should attend?
- Designers of navigation, organization, labeling, and search systems that help people find and manage information more successfully,
- Librarians, webmasters, and content owners responsible for creating taxonomies and information architectures,
- Application developers who design web and software solutions and select the technologies and staff to support them,
- Project and business managers needing to understand the benefits and challenges of information architectures in electronic information spaces.
Conference Program
The call for short and advanced conference sessions has closed and was very successful. With more than 70 very interesting proposals on many great topics, and whittling the list down to just 22 sessions on the program was not an enviable task.
Early bird registrations are $660, or $550 with discount code “uxnet08″.
Regular registrations are $770, or $660 with discount code “uxnet08″.
Survey: IA in the real world
Monday, August 11th, 2008 by Casey GlassPatrick Kennedy is is running an online survey on how people go about practicing Information Architecture in the real world, in particular how agencies “do IA”.
Pat wants to both confirm and challenge his own understandings of:
- the way agencies work and how IA fits into their processes
- who it gets done by
- how it might be possible to give agencies the skills they need to perform better in this regard
The survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete and he’s giving away prizes to boot.
You’ll find the survey at: http://www.gurtle.com/survey/index.php?sid=61824
If you don’t work in an agency, you can still help me out by forwarding it on to your clients, peers and friends who do work in agencies.
The survey will run until the end of September.

Tales of information architecture from IBM.com
Ever wonder how a large corporate web site navigation system is designed, and how it evolves over time? How certain links find their way to the corporate home page, while other ones do not? How major changes in the corporation’s business affect the web site navigation? And how the IA of the corporate web site can give clues about how well the business is doing?
If so, then join Keith Instone as he tells stories about the information architecture of ibm.com.
Keith Instone has been the information architecture lead for IBM.com for the last several years.
