### About 2014's Theme

World IA Day 2014 will discuss how we can <mark style="background-color:purple;">**use IA thinking to make the world a better place**</mark>. While this may sound idealistic, we think it will inspire speakers to take both the academic and business-centric ideas of our industry to push the boundaries of what we can achieve through IA. Making the case to ourselves, traditional business, and all others, of IA’s ability to make positive change.
