IA Conference workshops will be taking place on April 14th, 15th, and the afternoon of April 16.
The main conference will take place beginning on April 16 through the 18th.
Untangle complexity at its root. Learn a powerful, object-oriented framework for exposing the hidden structure of your systems. You’ll leave with tools to ask better questions, align teams faster, and bring clarity to even the messiest domains.
Facilitation is a critical skill for strategists, architects, and any other designers who want to move things forward. Much more than simply running meetings, facilitation involves designing activities and organizing interactions that encourage—and perhaps even ensure—needful outcomes for critical conversations.
The tools and talk around AI are changing rapidly. This practical workshop for IA/UX practitioners takes a broad view – history and now – to increase your knowledge and confidence as members of a team creating human-centered, responsible AI systems. Everyone can gain something. You do not need to be working on AI projects yet or have AI experience to participate.
Join us to explore how information architecture can evolve to meet the needs of an increasingly complex world. Building on Andrea Resmini’s 2025 keynote, this roundtable examines IA’s role in making digital and AI-driven experiences more human-centered, addressing global social and environmental challenges, and strengthening IA’s academic, business, and community impact. Through lightning talks, hands-on exercises, and collaborative artifact creation, participants will shape practical approaches to advance the discipline.
Take your IA practice beyond navigation and wireframes and discover how information architecture drives broad-scale alignment and delivers lasting value. In Intro to IA Strategy, you’ll learn how to shape conceptual clarity and communicate IA’s impact in complex shared information environments. This hands-on workshop equips mid-career and senior professionals to promote IA as a strategic pillar in both traditional and Agent- and LLM-driven ecosystems.
“What do you do here?” If you’re in UX, this question gets harder to answer as AI generates more believable designs. In this workshop, Kim Mats Mats and Torrey Podmajersky will help you tell a compelling story about business impacts your work can make—and when and why you might use AI tools to help you.
