IDEA Conference

Peter Merholz is organizing the IDEA Conference (IDEA stands for Information: Design, Experience, Access).

It takes place October 23-24 in Seattle, WA.

“It’s a conference about the design of complex information spaces of all kinds, be they physical, virtual, or both.

This event is sponsored by the IA Institute, and, as an inaugural event with no marketing budget, needs all the friends it can get. So, I am emailing you all in hopes of spreading the word.

We’re trying something different here. The conference features working designers (with a couple exceptions) working with a variety of media, environments, and tools, across a diverse range of disciplines, talking about their design work and processes. I’m thrilled to announce the recent inclusion of Betsy Ehrlich, designer for the National Park Service, and Linda Stone, interactive media diva formerly of Apple and Microsoft, to the program. The program can be read here:

I think the cross-disciplinary aspect is its strongest feature, but also makes it harder to sell—this isn’t a “web” conference or a “mobile” conference or an “architecture” conference, etc. It’s a Design (with a big D, yes) conference. I think it’s addressing concerns that will become paramount in a few short years, as the confluence and convergence of media and environments leads to increased complexity in our lives.”
