I will be off to the fantabulous 2008 IA Summit in Miami tomorrow! This is *the* yearly event for information architects. I’m soooo excited to see everyone and participate in some much needed and inspiring discussion about the world of information architecture, user experience, interaction design and usability.
My highly anticipated sessions include:
- IAs, language and lego – an introduction to semantic analysis with Matthew Hodgson
- Peer coaching: support for UX managers with Margaret Hanley
- The business of experience: the experience impact framework with Jess McMullin
- The long wow with Brandon Schauer
- Testing for advertising effectiveness with Margaret Hanley
- Making the leap from practitioner to manager: confidence building strategy and common pitfalls with Samantha Bailey (my mentor)
- Storytelling – a compelling design tool with Dorelle Rabinowitz
- Becoming and IA/UX coach: Proving success one champion at a time with Yvonne Shek
- Designing with patterns in the real world: Lessons from Yahoo and Comcast with Christian Crumlish and Austin Govella (my co-worker)

Can’t wait!
