Local speakers will include Rian van der Merwe (Kalahari.com), Rey Uys (Standard Bank), Vlad Nedelcu (The Times), Jason Hobbs (Human Experience Design) and William Saunders (Flow Interactive)

This event is for designers of all kinds, strategists, marketeers, product folks, customer experience officers, programmers and developers, content strategists, architects, urban planners and any one, really, who cares about making the world a more useful, usable and desirable place to live in.

Information Architecture (IA) has been described as the "The structural design of shared information environments" and provides methods, tools and techniques critical to providing the underlying structure of user experiences. Often described as 'the design behind the design' IA has made its biggest impact in the design of user experiences for the Web, however more recently it is increasingly being acknowledged as a critical tool for designing usable, effective and integrated cross-channel customer experiences.

This event is brought to you by the Information Architecture Institute, the University of Johannesburg and the SA UX Forum with the generous support of Interact RDT (Gold Sponsor), as well as Origin Interactive and Afrihost.
