Designing for Meaning
Information architects design for meaning in everything we create. We intentionally shape how people understand and navigate systems, ensuring our structures create meaningful experiences rather than confusion.
Meaning is what transforms data into knowledge. It helps people make sense of complexity and find what they need. As information architects, we design structures that create meaning. We organize content so people can understand it. We build systems that connect users to the information that matters to them.

About
No matter if you are new to information architecture or an experienced professional, let’s get together and share the ways information architecture makes a difference in our lives.
What is Information Architecture?
Information architecture (IA) are structures that we use to make sure that the information people need is easy to find and to understand. So when you use a website, a mobile application or go into a store and you can find what you need and everything makes sense, that means the information architecture is doing its job.
What is World IA Day?
World IA Day connects the world through information architecture. World IA Day is a one-day annual conference organized by the World Information Architecture Association (WIAA) and held simultaneously in dozens of cities across the world: www.worldiaday.org
Who is the WIAD for?
Information architects, user experience designers, business owners, content specialists, developers and all you web enthusiasts.
