    Call for proposals & papers

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, 
experienced IAs, and people in a range of related fields.

In this call, we seek proposals for:

    * presentations - one or more people presenting on a topic (more
      information about presentations - link down page)
    * panels - discussion between a small group of people, co-ordinated
      by a moderator - each presenter offering a perspective on a topic
      (more information about panels)
    * research - one or more people presenting original contributions to
      the research, theory, and practice of information architecture
      (more information about research papers)
    * pre-conference workshops - 1/2 or full day workshops available to
      Summit participants at additional charge (more information about
      pre-conference workshops)
    * posters - visual presentations that are informally presented in a
      common room or circulation area (more information about posters)

All proposals can address core IA principles, emerging trends and 
technologies, or the business of IA. We are also interested in 
cross-disciplinary contributions to the practice of IA from related 
fields such as library science, user experience, interaction design, and 
user centered design. Sessions may address core IA skills or advanced IA 
topics.

We encourage submissions from practitioners, academics, and students. We 
also love hearing from developers, business analysts, managers, and 
others who work with information architects and/or information 
architecture.

We also seek research papers. Submissions in this format should make 
empirical or theoretical contributions to information architecture. You 
do not have to be affiliated with an academic institution to submit a 
research paper.


    Theme & topics

This year's theme is 'Enriching IA' and we wish to examine three things:

    * Rich information: Share your experiences dealing with rich and
      complex information
    * Rich interaction: The internet is rapidly moving towards a more
      interactive environment. How does this affect what we do?
    * Rich relationships: There are two aspects to this - social
      computing radically affects how we work with information; and the
      IA Summit is a great place to catch up with friends and make new ones

Suggested topics include, but need not be limited to:

    * Core IA skills, including tools & techniques
    * IA in practice
    * Business and IA
    * IA and other disciplines
    * Academic research and theory
    * Future directions and challenges

Note: Marketing pitches will not be accepted.
