Information Architecture Conference 2021 (Online)

Information Architecture Conference 2021 is a 3-day event about all things information architecture. With pre-conference workshops the week prior and three days of talks, you’ll walk away with practical takeaways and inspiration to take your learning to a new level of understanding. In 2021, we will be online: attend from anywhere in the world.

Emergence
Now is the time to (re)emerge.

We have a unique opportunity to ascend from the destruction, fear, and uncertainty of 2020 and forge a new vision for our community. Working together, we can emerge stronger, better, and more open-minded—but the prospect is risky. And success is not guaranteed.

The Information Architecture Conference is seeking speakers that will:

• Expand our perspectives on information architecture. Best practices can quickly become outdated practices. We need disruptors, experimenters, and visionaries that will help the community update our collective mental models around theory, practice, and research.
• Guide us toward a more inclusive community and an industry rid of -isms (racism, sexism, ageism, etc.). Amidst the turmoil, progress is being made. We need storytellers, bridge builders, and healers that will help us broaden the circle and shepherd us into a more reflective understanding of equity.
• Show us the future(s) of IA and expand its potential and its potency. While the past exists only in our memory, the future exists in our imagination. In the present, we need explorers, guides and weavers to bravely help us navigate the uncharted territories in IA.
  This is a daunting challenge.

We are more likely to succeed together. Join us at the 2021 Information Architecture Conference.

Let’s emerge with a better version of ourselves. And our world.
