IAC25 Call for Participation Has Closed
Thank you to everyone who submitted proposals for IAC25! The call for participation closed on November 3, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. PST. We appreciate the time and thought that went into each submission and are excited to review your ideas and insights.
Our Theme: Information Architecture – The Bridge Between Humans and Technology
As technology advances and AI increasingly influences our lives, it’s crucial to keep human experiences at the forefront. At IAC25, we’re exploring how Information Architecture (IA) serves as a bridge that connects us with technology, ensuring responsible, user-centered design that enhances—not detracts from—our lives.
What’s Next for Those Who Submitted?
We’re hard at work reviewing the proposals, and all applicants can expect to hear from us in mid to late November 2024. You’ll receive a notification about the outcome of your submission via the email provided during the application process. We’re looking forward to curating an insightful and inspiring program for IAC25.
A Glimpse of What’s to Come
IAC25 will bring together diverse voices and perspectives to explore key questions:
- How can IA structure data in meaningful ways?
- How do we maintain ethical, responsible practices in a rapidly changing world?
- How can IA and design ensure technology serves, rather than detracts from human needs?
We’re building a program that addresses both forward-thinking concepts and practical challenges in IA, offering a space for ethical dialogue and innovation.
Session Types and Speaker Support
The conference will offer various session formats, including Lightning Talks and Full Talks, each designed to accommodate different presentation styles and topics. Selected speakers will receive free or discounted conference registration and support through our Speaker Studio, offering guidance from proposal to presentation.
Building a Diverse and Inclusive Community
At IAC25, we believe diversity strengthens our community and fosters innovation. We’re committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone feels empowered to connect, learn, and contribute.
