Sharing why information architecture matters

"I enjoy the sense of community and building the local community here in Barcelona, raising awareness about IA and helping various people have the opportunity to present about what they know and their work."

— Kevin van Reenen, WIAD22 Barcelona, Spain

"...I am passionate about fostering conversations and collaborations that push the boundaries of how we organize and interact with information. ...It’s an honor to play a part in advancing IA and empowering others through this shared experience.

— Dechen Nagi, WIAD25 Vancouver, Canada
