Below I have inserted Donna's message re the IA Summit 07, but you should
also know that there is a special web site set up for IA Summit
reservations.  In the URL below I have cut the http:// hoping the entire URL
will work in plain text format as a line.  There is also a link on the site.

The Information Architecture Summit is a premier gathering place for 
information architects and for discussion about information 
architecture. Everyone who touches on IA is welcome to share and learn. 
Last year's IA Summit attracted over 500 attendees, including beginners,
