I get it. It’s one thing to know who is giving talks at #IAS18, and what those talks are. But you’re an IA. You want to know when they are, and you want to see them in a table, thank you very much.
You’re already making your list, aren’t you? That’s why I love you, you crazy IA.
We’re trying as much as possible to keep #IAS18 familiar to long-time attendees, while still experimenting and making improvements. My co-chairs @iatheory and @orangelemons52 have been fantastic co-creators in this process. I’m a lucky boy. Hope y’all can join us in Chicago. iasummit.org

Looking for a comprehensive overview of information architecture? Look no further. This curated list of articles and resources from the fine folks at Optimal Workshop is a brilliant reference.
One of my IA students pointed me to this site: https://www.balenciaga.com
Just take a quick look. Your browser isn’t broken… that’s the site. It’s a really pure expression of IA and UX. It’s simple, but it’s got a lot of character and some nice bits of flair. I kind of wish I’d have done this.
