The 2005 Information Architecture (IA) Summit will cross boundaries with a
world-class program on IA theory, practice, and business.

Opening Keynote:  B.J. Fogg  www.bjfogg.com <http://www.bjfogg.com/> .  In a
nutshell and in his own words, about his Persuasive Technology Lab at
Stanford: I direct research and design at the Stanford Persuasive Technology
Lab. Our overall goal is to create insight into interactive technologies
designed to change people's attitudes and behaviors. Our current projects
include online credibility, mobile persuasion (influencing people through
mobile phones, PDAs, etc.), and operant conditioning via computing systems.

and pre-conference tutorials that address core IA principles or offer
