Notes from IA Summit — Workshops Day 2
The second workshop day of the 2016 IA Summit was a smashing hit — the workshops were packed and, if we are to believe (and we do) the feedback forms we collected, they were unequivocally fantastic.
Today’s lineup included:
- Intro to Information Architecture — Donna Spencer
- Designing Successful Projects — Dan Szuc
- Reframe IA: The 4th Academics and Practitioners Roundtable
- Taxonomy & UX: Structuring Data to Drive Experiences — Dave Cooksey
- Decoding Culture: Becoming Information Anthropologists — David Fiorito
- Social Math: Making Complex Data Meaningful to Users — Victor Yocco & Ashley Pulli
- Found It! Increasing Satisfaction with IA and SEO — Marianne Sweeny
- Seeing the Trees Despite the Forest — Discerning Content Structure From a Blobby Website — Laura Creekmore
- Rewarding “Near Misses”: Making Close Count For Your Users — David Hobbs
And then, of course, things started getting even more real with the welcome reception, which was hosted in the Omni’s South Tower’s atrium, overlooking CNN Center and the world’s longest and tallest free-standing escalator (we’ve not ridden it).
Today’s highlights — the mounting energy as the official opening of the conference nears, and welcoming keynoters Lisa Welchman, Léonie Watson and Jesse James Garrett — we’re still waiting for Cory Doctorow but he’ll be here very soon. Exciting, no?
