Join us for a day of learning about Information Architecture! You'd be surprised just how much all of our disciplines are connected.

From UX to Architecture to Photography to Creative Writing, the design of information requires processes to create the ideal outcome for something that did not exist before.

Meet fellow practitioners, get a better understanding of what others do and how you can use that knowledge to make what you do even better.

Our lineup starts at 9a and ending at 6p, with one hour break for lunch. Come to one, a few or all! Your ticket price is good for the day, so you can come and go as you please.
