# Submission guidelines The field of information architecture thrives on diverse viewpoints and real-world experiences. We invite you to share your perspective on what IA means, how it works, and where it's heading. ### What we're looking for **Definitions and explanations** - How do you define IA? What metaphors or examples help you explain it to others? **Practice stories** - Case studies from your work, challenges you've solved, or lessons learned from projects that didn't go as planned. **Visual perspectives** - Diagrams, sketches, or other visual ways of explaining IA concepts. **Theoretical insights** - How you apply specific methodologies, connections you see with other fields, or emerging approaches you're developing. **Technology and trends** - How IA principles apply to new technologies, cross-platform challenges, or predictions about the field's future. **Learning and growth** - Resources that shaped your understanding, advice for newcomers, or reflections on how the field has evolved. ### Formats we accept Share your submission in whatever format works best for you. * **Written pieces** (200-1500 words) * **Visual content** (diagrams, infographics, sketches) * **Video submissions** (5-15 minutes recommended) * **Document uploads** (presentations, PDFs, case studies) * **Links to existing content** (articles, videos, portfolios) **Attribution:** Include your name, title, and organization (or indicate if you prefer to remain anonymous). **Tone:** Write as you would speak to a colleague.
