"Informing Information Architectures - Beyond Card Sorting"

Designing information architectures has become synonymous with a
technique called card sorting, but surely that can't be the only or
best method for every instance, can it? 


During this session, we'll explore practical methods for determining
site structures and information architectures.


<bold>What is "Interaction Design: The Human Factor"?</bold>

We are a group of people interested in designing better products in
the IT&T industry by sharing information, theory and practical tips.
We meet monthly to speak on user-centred design topics, covering the
disciplines of usability, information architecture, human-computer
interaction and human factors engineering.


<bold>Who should come?</bold>

Beginners through to experts in: Usability, HCI, Interaction Design,
Information Architecture, User Experience Design, and Human Factors.

Project Managers, Business Analysts, Software Engineers, and anyone
else wishing to create better products.

Please feel free to invite anyone else that you think would benefit
from this evening.
