Conferences and workshops are how I continue my education in information architecture, search engines, user experiences, content strategy and digital marketing. Here is where I better organize my thinking on key topics and emerging technologies to ensure that my clients are getting cutting edge guidance that meets current needs and future directions. Here is where I find “the matches” to set my magical thinking on fire.
WORKSHOPS
The Information Architecture of Artificial Intelligence: A 1/2 or full-day workshop that explores the intersections and influences of information architecture, user experience and content strategy on the development and success of artificially intelligent programs. The intent of the workshop is to promote cross discipline collaboration, design thinking and soft system methodology for hybrid machine learning.
