Europe's Fifth

EuroIA invites your participation to this premier European event on Information Architecture.

Join us in Copenhagen, Denmark, September 25-26, 2009, for three incredible days of workshops, presentations, panels, and networking with information architects from across Europe and around the world.

This year we will explore the theme “Beyond Structure”. That’s because websites have moved to a new level. Any random page can be accessed from Google. Pages themselves may consist of information from many sources. And even the concept of a “page” is changing thanks to new backend technologies. In other words, we’ve moved beyond the traditional sitemap and into a new and exciting era of web development.

We also recognize that money is tight these days. Therefore, several presentations will also deal specifically with how we can continue to provide good quality results when budgets have been slashed. In short, there are a lot of good reasons to join us.

• Anyone concerned with the design of navigation, organization, labeling, and search systems that help people find and manage information more successfully.
• Librarians, webmasters, and content owners responsible for creating taxonomies and information architectures.
• Application Developers who design web and software solutions and select the technologies and staff to support them.
• Project and business managers needing to understand the benefits and challenges of information architectures in electronic information spaces.

• What do you mean by "information architecture" and "IA"?
• Can I help promote the Summit and become a country ambassador?

“Beyond Structure” is organised under the auspices of the European Chapter of ASIS&T (http://www.asis.org).
