Beyond Findability – IA Summit preconference seminar

The 10th IA Summit is right around the corner! This year’s program looks very strong, and as always I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and participating in the conference activities. But I’m especially excited about this year’s IA Institute pre-conference seminar: Beyond Findability: Reframing IA Practice and Strategy for Turbulent Times. (Disclaimer: I’m on the IAI’s Board of Directors.)

This day-long workshop, which will be led by Andrew Hinton, Joe Lamantia, Livia Labate, and Matt Milan, will provide tools and techniques that will help UX designers grow as professionals in these trying times. According to Andrew, the workshop aims to…

… take your IA practice to a higher level of understanding, performance and impact. Learn about contextual models and scalable frameworks, design collaboration tactics, and how to wield more influence at the “strategy table.”

It sounds very exciting and incredibly relevant for our current context. I think it’s going to be terrific, and would sign up for it even if I weren’t part of the Institute’s leadership team. :)

The Summit will be held in Memphis, TN from March 20-22, and the workshop will be held on the 18th of March. Visit the workshop page for more info, and to register. I look forward to seeing you there!
