[Sigia-l] IA Institute's Exciting Summer Pre-Con

[Peter Merholz]

I know many of you are going to the summit, but many haven't chosen  
to attend a pre-conference session.

At the IA Institute, we believe that Information architecture's  
development relies on cross-disciplinary innovation and a commitment  
to expanding the boundaries of IA
application.

Given that, our Next Horizons workshop, drawing from new thinking in  
cognitive psychology,
organizational strategy, and cross-channel experience design, will  
give you the tools you need to lead and succeed as IA evolves.

The workshop is on Friday, March 24, covering a wide range of
advanced topics. We start early, but by cocktail time, you'll know
how to:

- Analyze content management concepts from a powerful new perspective

- Incorporate the insights of multiple disciplines into IA practice

- Get an IA team going, and keep established teams growing

- Gain buy-in for IA practices and products at work

- Define and apply IA approaches across different interfaces
(digital, human, and physical)

Led by an all-star team including Dan Brown, Harry Max, Aradhana
Goel, and Paul Gould, you won't want to miss this important event.

And remember, annual membership in the IA Institute costs only $40,
yet entitles you to a full $150 registration discount for the main
Summit. So join us today - and we'll see you in Vancouver in a few
weeks!
