Information Architecture 2000
A Unique Conference for Information Architects
Ann Arbor, MI (July 13, 2000) — The Argus Center for Information Architecture ("ACIA") announces it's inaugural conference, "Information Architecture 2000," to be held on Thursday October 26 and Friday October 27, 2000 in La Jolla, California.
"This truly is a conference designed by information architects for information architects," explains Peter Morville, CEO of Argus Associates and Director of the ACIA. "Over the past year, we've asked hundreds of information architects to tell us about their most urgent questions, and we've designed a conference program to address those needs."
Conference topics range from politics and metrics (e.g., measuring return on investment) to designing web sites and intranets for diverse audiences (e.g., globalization and localization) to best and worst practices (e.g., collaborating with usability engineers, interaction designers, content authors, and others). To address these topics, the ACIA has carefully selected a world-class faculty of speakers that includes:
| * | Andrew Dillon, Professor of Information Science and Informatics, Indiana University |
| * | Andrea Gallagher, Customer Experience Architect, Scient |
| * | Peter Merholz, Creative Director, Epinions.com
|
| * | Bonnie Nardi, AT&T Research Labs, Author of Information Ecologies |
| * | Terry Swack, Vice President of Experience Design, Razorfish |
| * | Karyn Young, Information Architect, IBM |
| * | Vivian Bliss, Knowledge Management Analyst, Microsoft Corp. |
Registration for this 2 day conference is $550 with a 10% early bird discount available through July 31. This exclusive event is limited to 150 attendees, so act now. For more information and to register online, visit:
