Sponsor IAC

The IA Conference exists to promote discourse and learning about the intentional design of information environments. It is a gathering of practitioners from around the globe, who practice and teach information architecture and other design-related disciplines. The Conference includes two days of workshops and a three-day main program that attracts the industry’s leading thinkers in information architecture, user experience, and content strategy. Attendees are exposed to timely insights and practical lessons that can be applied immediately at work

Your sponsorship matters

Be part of the world’s most prestigious gathering for information architecture, while helping to create a truly unique conference. The IAC is attended every year by hundreds of influencers and thought leaders in information architecture, user experience design, and content strategy as well as designers looking for something more than  just the standard design conference. 

Financial support through sponsorship brings services and social events to the IAC that would otherwise not be possible. It also brings students to the IAC who otherwise could not afford to attend.

How to sponsor the conference

We want you to benefit from supporting our event as much as the delegates do. There are lots of ways sponsors have supported our conference in the past and we’re happy to find the most appropriate way to have you help us. Here are some of the ways you might sponsor IAC.

  • Choose an event or group of events to sponsor (always a popular choice!) 
  • Help us provide captioning, audio, and/or video recording at the Conference 
  • Sponsor the sketch pads, lanyards, attendee bags, and other swag 
  • Allow us to show our appreciation for our hard-working volunteers and speakers 

And if you don’t find a sponsorship method that works for you, let us know and we’ll see what we can pull together
