IA Summit 2014

My notes, photos, and thoughts from attending 2014's Information Architecture Summit in San Diego.

Reflections, photos, and a Flickr group.

I posted most of my photos from this years IA Summit up to a Flickr set. I’ve still got to go through some of the ones I took on my tablet, but most are there now.

I also created a Flickr Group if anyone else wanted to share their memories of IAS14.

In the coming weeks I’ll write up the 24 pages of notes, currently sitting in my Evernote moleskine, with links to the slides etc. If you don’t want to wait (and why would you?) you can go and read through Daniel Newman‘s collection of slides, notes and related material from the Summit.

As I look back at the last 5 days I remember hearing, time & time again; “family, “home”, “tribe”. These words resonate. I met interesting people from all over the world who’d congregated to present, discuss, share, and further what we do every day.

Next year the Summit moves to Minneapolis, MN. Hopefully I’ll see you there.

Goodbye IAS14

I’ve 3 hours till I take off. 3 hours to decompress from a fantastic week of hearing, meeting, and talking to like minded people. So Here I sit nursing a coffee and adding articles mentioned to read later.

I’ve met some new people, caught up with online friends, and seen the best of a community.

Now to collect my notes, follow back people on Twitter, add photo to Flickr, tidy these entries from IA Summit 14 and put into practice what I’ve learnt. Hopefully I can make it next year, and repeat the whole thing all over again.

.@bibinex gave a great first talk. Lots of good insights #ias14

Her ‘UX without UI’ talk was a great way to descibe the change she brought to Adidas in Latin America without havibg access to the global website.

“It’s language all the way down”. Fantastic talk by @inkblurt #ias14

‘Language is Infrastructure’ was another great talk by Andrew Hinton. Could listen to his ideas all day. Very informative.

Mind. Blown. ‘Responsive IA’ by @andybywire. #ias14

So much in this talk. I’ll have to write ip my notes and get the link to his slides. ‘Modes of signification’ and ‘Qualia’ are worth exploring.
