Information science, theories of classification, logic, library science, user experience, web design, psychology and ergonomics, industrial design: these are ingredients of information architecture (Information Architecture or IA) whose purpose is the design and realization of shared information environments.

The contribution of IA is becoming an essential and strategic everywhere as complexity, information load and familiarity are often burdensome for the user. A booking system via mobile phone, the display of a waiting room, the signs of a transit environment, the search for books in a library, finding information or products in a shop in each of these systems, the Information Architecture plays a crucial role.

The Italian IA Summit is and will remain an event with free admission to foster the growth of the Italian community of practice, criticism and study of information architecture in Europe and the world and to support the interaction between universities, businesses and professionals.
