STEWART BRAND, author of "How Buildings Learn" and "The
Media Lab: Inventing the Future at MIT," instigator of a
host of provocative, intriguing projects (including the "Whole
Earth" series and working with Doug Engelbart on the first PC
demonstration in 1969) will be our KEYNOTE SPEAKER.  (A

First deadline is DECEMBER 2, 2002

 From the call:
The 2003 summit on Information Architecture will explore the
many elements that go into creating excellent information
architecture, both from within the discipline and without.

The Summit seeks proposals for
      Case Studies (Deadline: December 2, 2002)
      Presentations that demonstrate innovative and effective
            information architecture practices (Deadline: December 
2,              2002)
      Posters (Deadline: January 15, 2003)

We are open to contributions from people with solid and relevant
ideas, including areas that may be considered ancillary or outside
of Information Architecture.

We encourage submissions by students, developers and designers,
work of  a specialized nature, work concerning new features,
design elements, methods or processes, controversial topics, and
work in progress.

We are especially interested in receiving submissions from
speakers in our field who have not presented at the summit in the
past, including academics, professionals in related fields and
information architects who have not yet had the opportunity to
share their knowledge.

We want to invigorate our conference with new thoughts.
