World IA Day

World Information Architecture Day (WIAD) is an annual celebration that brings together a diverse community passionate about information architecture and its role in our work and personal lives.

Since 2012, World IA Day has grown from a handful of locations to over 70 cities spanning six continents. The celebration unites practitioners, students, and enthusiasts in a day of learning, sharing, and connection—all focused on making information more findable, usable, and meaningful.
