IDEA 2008 brings together practitioners and speakers who design complex information spaces in the physical and virtual worlds and helps people make sense of information to make sense of our always-on, always-connected world:

* where the edges between online and offline blur
* where detailed wayfinding is necessary to navigate
* where we need new processes to manage our processes.

Throughout their days, people are engaging with complex information to manage their lives. Designers now realize that information isn't simply this stuff you find -- the appropriate presentation of information helps people make sense of the world around them.

The IDEA conference addresses issues of design in a 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.

Bringing together people who are addressing these challenges head on, the IDEA conference features speakers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss designing complex information spaces in the physical and virtual worlds.
