- Identify essential IA collaboration skills
- Learn how to communicate IA concepts

Structure
This workshop has been a staple of the IA Conference for the past three years. Now, it’s been wholly restructured for effective remote instruction.
The online workshop consists of three components:
- Pre-recorded video lectures, which you can view on your own before real-time group activities
- Real-time hands-on group exercises via Zoom
- Asynchronous Q&A sessions via Discord
Lectures consist of our parts:
- Introduction to information architecture
- Conceptual modeling
- Basic IA components
- Basic IA skills
This new structure maximizes learning by making the most of our time together and makes it easier for distributed teams with busy schedules to participate.
