IDEA 2006. Information: Design, Experience, Access.
IDEA 2006, a new conference organized by Adaptive Path’s Peter Merholz, will be held in Seattle, USA, on October 23-24, 2006.
“IDEA 2006 brings together a diverse set of designers, creators, and researchers addressing a fundamental challenge we’re facing today: how to let everyday people take true advantage of the overwhelming mass of information that floods their lives.
Throughout their days, people are engaging with complex information to manage their lives … the appropriate presentation of information helps people make sense of the world around them.
There are currently many different kinds of folks working in this space, but they typically don’t talk with one another.
For this event, we’ve made an effort to invite presenters across a stunning array of disciplines - museum design, information visualization, librarians, environmental design, user research, engineering, interaction design, product strategy, and more.
The conference addresses issues of design for an always-on, always-connected world.
Where “cyberspace” is a meaningless term because the online and offline worlds cannot be made distinct.
Where physical spaces are so complex that detailed wayfinding is necessary to navigate them.
Where work processes have become so involved, and so digitized, that we need new processes to manage those processes.“
