Who is who

Here are the folks who shepherd EuroIA from idea to reality. Ping ANY of us if you want information, want to help, or just want to chat. We would love to hear from you.

The community

EuroIA gathers a large community of motivated specialists involved in all aspects of information management, not only from Europe but from all over the world (US, Australia, Latin-America, Asia etc.).

At EuroIA, the talks and workshops come from you, the community. They undergo a double-blind peer review, encouraging new ideas and new professionals to appear.

Country ambassadors

We would like to make this summit as successful as possible. That means we want to reach as many information architects in as many European countries as possible. To do so, we are creating special positions for Country Ambassadors. These ambassadors help get our message out to local IA practitioners.
