[Lacasis-l] Announcing World Information Architecture Day 2017 in Los Angeles || Feb 18 2017

[Grace Lau]

*65 LOCATIONS. 29 COUNTRIES. 6 CONTINENTS.*

Guess what? World IA Day is coming to Los Angeles again next year on
February 18 in Santa Monica. It's not conflicting with Chinese New Year's
and it's not the same weekend as Valentine's Day, but you may get a day
back with Presidents Day on Monday.

This is the 6th year that World IA Day is happening, the 5th year that we
hosted it in Los Angeles.  It's a one-day free event run entirely by
volunteers and funded by awesome sponsors.

*When*: Saturday, Feb 18, 2017
*Where*: Philosophie, Santa Monica
*What*: One-day conference exploring information strategy and structure

In today’s world, organizations are required to rethink how to architect
and manage information to maintain a competitive and organizational edge.
Many are embracing strategies that are more flexible, moving away from
isolated systems and departmental silos. These organizations recognize the
need for information to be structured so that it is consistent,
transparent, findable and understandable.

But, the need for information strategy and structure extends beyond the
enterprise. Whether information is architected to inform algorithms, to
bring awareness to important societal challenges, or to clearly communicate
available resources to help those in need; information strategy and
structure plays an important role in our everyday lives.


*Who*: Lots of new and experienced speakers. Check out our program
<http://2017.worldiaday.org/location/los-angeles-california-united-states>.
*How much?* Free. *Registration is open.*

*Speaking*
We're adding lightning talks to the program! Lightning talks will be 5
minutes and 20 slides, which will automatically advance every 15 seconds.
This is content boiled down to only the most powerful takeaways. We want
attendees to decide which talks they’re excited to hear, and we’ll be
asking them to vote on their favorite pitches to determine the final
lineup. More on this later.


*Volunteering*
Big day, lots of roles to fill. Volunteers make the day run smoothly and
prevent burnout. If you're looking for a sure ticket to get into the event,
email Grace at losangeles at worldiaday.org and volunteer.

*Sponsors*
Thank you *Philosophie* for providing us the space!

We're still looking for sponsors! If you are interested in being a part of
nurturing this community and network of design professionals, please email
Grace at losangeles at worldiaday.org.
