[Sigia-l] IA Summit Redux - San Francisco

[Sarah A. Rice]

To all everyone in the San Francisco Bay Area:

We're organizing an IA Summit Redux in San Francisco for Friday, May 6th. 
We had one last year and it went off really well, attracting people who 
couldn't make the Summit or who were excited about the Summit from hearing 
people talk about it.

When: Friday, May 6th. Start time: TBD, probably noon or 1 pm
Where: Offices of Adaptive Path, 363 Brannan St., San Francisco, CA 94107
Who: You! and bring a friend who might be interested...

There will be a space available for presentations, and there will also be a 
separate room available for munchies and the opportunity to network with 
other IAs, so there will be ample opportunity to hear good stuff and talk 
with other folks.

So far, we've got the following folks lined up to present. If there are 
other Summit presenters out there who will be in San Francisco on May 6th, 
please let the organizers know (contact info at the bottom of this email) 
and we'll include you in the line-up.

The presentations we have scheduled so far include:

Peter Merholz           Content Genres
Jim Leftwich            The IA of Things: 20 Years of Lessons Learned
Janice Frazier          Leveraging Business Value: The ROI of User Experience
