Description
Are Information Architects a thing of the past? Or the only folks out there who are going to make sense of this mess? And if not them, who is best positioned to shepherd the structure of our shared information spaces into a better state? How do we ‘future proof’ our discipline?
In this debate, we’ll pit industry experts against each other to determine answers to these questions and more, once and for all. Or, at least, unpack some of the situations and contexts that really require dedicated IA expertise… and what we might need to ‘share’ with our colleagues for great impact in the future.
Join us for this spirited live debate, hosted by Optimal Workshop.
