The 2008 IA Summit website is up, and it looks really good! This year’s program looks very strong, although I’m somewhat disappointed to not see any contributions from Latin American IAs.
This year’s venue (Miami) is often referred to as “The Capital of Latin America” because of its strong cultural and economic ties to the region. While travel to the US has become considerably more difficult since 9/11, Miami remains a convenient location for many Latin Americans traveling to the US. Given the increasing profile of IA in our region, and this convenient location, I’m expecting to see a large number of Latin American IA’s at this year’s Summit.
In any case, if you’ve never been to a Summit, and are on the fence about it, I strongly encourage you to go. This is one of the best opportunities to meet and learn from some of the most experience IA practitioners in the world.
Self-serving ad: I’m helping organize this year’s IA Institute preconference workshop: Becoming a leader – from IA to business and beyond. We have an incredible program: Christopher Fahey, Margaret Hanley, Harry Max, Karen McGrane, and Josh Rubin will be exploring the relationship between Information Architecture and leadership. If you aspire to a position of leadership ? in any capacity ? you cannot miss this workshop.
