Please re gister for this event on Eventbrite. \;\n \;\nCome learn about wha t Information Architecture means and about some of the challenges facing Portland's leading practitioners. \;\n \;\nIdeal for: Anyone inte rested in technology\, creative tech\, business of tech\, industry pros\ , students and everyone in between.  \;\n \;\nThanks to our sponso rs: AIGA\, IxDA\, PDX Web and Design Meetup\, Northwest Creatives Social Club\, People's Sandwich of Portland and Floyd's Coffee \;\n \;\n Our speaker lineup is amazing! \;\n \;\n10am: Jeanne Turner-Walmar t Labs  \;\nCultivating Good Will in the Digital World \;\nWhen we have to wait 20 minutes for service after being seated at a restaurant\ , or when a grocery store is disorganized and the clerk is distracted an d unhelpful\, then we know that something is wrong with the situation. I n the physical world\, lack of information and poor interactions are obv ious. In the physical world\, we know how to make improvements that incr ease customer satisfaction. How can we translate this understanding to t he digital world? What do we need to understand about human nature to i mprove digital experiences? In this talk\, Jeanne Turner will discuss co ncepts and techniques that allow us to cultivate good will in the digita l world. \;\n \;\n11am: Patricia Colley-Interactionflow \;\nCiv ilizing Information Architecture: A meditation on systems design \;\n What is the scope of information architecture practice? To design optima l architectural structures\, we know we must empathize with its inhabita nts\, and apply deep expertise in organization\, language and flow. But we've learned\, this alone will not ensure a design's success. As we div e deeply into the churning sea of design and technology trends\, tools a nd methods\, we often forget how we orient to design practice\, and its increasingly complex problems\, as thoughtful human beings. Will our app s\, widgets and gadgets come to serve us\, or will we lose ourselves in a wilderness of unmitigated digital distractions and breakdowns? To civi lize our digital future\, we are compelled to take a systems view of des ign practice. We are compelled to shift our perspectives and spark grand er dialogues.This session will examine the origins and evolution of the IA role\, the current and emerging climate in which our products reside\ , and put forth a few principles and methods to help answer the call to broaden our vision and expand our influence in a changing world. \;\ n \;\n12p: Huston Hedinger-Wikisway \;\nNetworks as a User Interfa ce \;\nThe mathematics of graph theory and its many applications via network science in sociology\, bioinformatics\, intelligence\, and even physics\, represent a paradigm shift in how we study and consider inform ation. Over the last 30 years\, machines have allowed us to structure da ta in such a way that allow us to analyze the complex interactions betwe en the individual actors in networks. These interactions turn out to rev eal patterns that are both predictable and obedient to mathematical laws - many in the academic community are just beginning to grasp the power a n the importance of these claims. The ability to visualize networks allo wing the researcher/user/customer to quickly understand the structure an d behavior of a network is the main focus of this talk. \;\n \;\n1 p: Matthew Baranauskas and Noah DiJulio-Ziba \;\nMeeting the Challeng es of Innovating on Top of Existing Platforms \;\nInformation archite cture is the keystone of every digital experience. It's where consumer n eeds and desires often collide with a brand's hopes and dreams. The dang er for companies as they grow is figuring out how to integrate new featu res into their customer's existing experience. Using real world examples and personal anecdotes\, Matthew and Noah will discuss how they navigat e the challenge of innovating on top of existing platforms using a consu mer-centric approach. You'll gain perspective on where to look for inspi ration and insight\, how to prioritize features into something that is m eaningful and authentic\, and how not to lose your mind in the process.& #13\;\n \;\n2p: Joel Barker and Michael Sulis-Wordlions and Summit En ergy Tech\, respectively \;\nCapture\, Tagging and Release of Institu tional Knowledge: Delivering Information in the Real World \;\nWhen c reating a system to deliver institutional information outside of the org anization\, the success of the project rests on understanding the requir ements and work process of all stakeholders. In this case study\, Summit Energy Tech and Word Lions collaborated to collect\, organize\, and mak e available the mission critical institutional knowledge that was the fo undation of our client’s relationship with their customers. This present ation will cover not only our solution\, but the points where understand ing the client capacity makes the difference between implementation and project failure. \;\n \;\n3p: Alison Stump-The Social Wall \;\n Visualizing Insight: Getting Started in Information Architecture \;\n Information Architecture has only recently been given the respect it des erves by those outside the realm of User Experience. Often the designs w e build are so elegant they appear simple. The average person on the str eet knows that a menu bar probably goes at the top of the page. In most cases its "\;common sense"\;. It is positioned on the top of the page because an Information Architect thought about all the options\, c onsidered the usability and user research data and delivered a product t hat just works.That is what information Architecture is. So how do you d o it? We will discuss a basic schema\, various tools and resources to he lp you get started as well as key terms and phrases that will allow you to escalate your career. \;\n \;\n4p: Dedrick Sprick-OHSU \;\n Progressive Content Strategy: A content commitment model \;\nThere ar e a lot of hurdles to overcome for managing content well on any site. Ma naging content well includes knowing your website\, scheduling tasks\, g etting the resources together\, staying on top of trends and responding to visitor needs. Learn how to tackle this monumental task one step at a time\, so your team can grow with your website. \;\n  \;\n \;\ nWe can have only 80 guests/session\, so it's all first come\, first ser ved\, so make sure you're on time!  \;\n \;\nAlso\, food and drink is allowed\, but not provided. Please go to Floyd's Coffee across the s treet or People's Sandwich of Portland to find food\, or bring your own. \;\n \;\nAfterparty @Backspace 'til whenever.
