This year’s UX STRAT in Boulder CO was the best one yet. I feel lucky that I got to cap it off with a talk about artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and how it’s all about keeping things in perspective for humans after all.

Architecture for Aliens at IA Summit 2017
A short talk on the unique power of information architecture to bring clarity and purpose to designing with artificial intelligence. You can also view the video of my talk at Blueprint.
Truly, Information Architecture for World IA Day 2017
I was honored to be asked to keynote the Atlanta instance of 2017’s World Information Architecture Day. Given the extraordinary things going on in the world since 2016 — especially the ongoing assault on civic information and shared truth — I decided to talk about how the IA dictum for “making the complex clear” is more important than ever.
Video embedded below, and Speakerdeck embed/link below that.

UX STRAT 2015 Day 2 Keynote
I had the pleasure of closing out a day of UX STRAT with this keynote talk about how context and strategy go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Delicious!
Summer 2015 Update — Talks, Posts, and other things.
I’ve been pretty busy since my last blog post in December, since Understanding Context launched. Some really great work with clients, lots of travel, and a number of appearances at events have kept me happily occupied. Some highlights:
Talks and Things
O’Reilly: Webcast for Understanding Context, presented on June 10. Luckily, with a quick registration, you can sign up to watch the whole thing for free!
IA Summit:, where I co-facilitated a workshop on Practical Conceptual Modeling with my TUG colleagues Kaarin Hoff and Joe Elmendorf. (See the excellent post Kaarin created at TUG. summarizing choice bits of the workshop).
SXSW Workshop: I taught an invited workshop at SXSW with my colleague Dan Klyn, on “Information Architecture Essentials” — which was wildly successful and well-reviewed. We’re happy to say we’ll be teaching versions of this workshop again this year, at IA Summit Italy, and WebVisions Chicago!
UX Lisbon: where I taught a workshop on analyzing and modeling context for user experiences (which I also taught in abbreviated form at IA Summit, and which I’ll be reprising at UX Week later this summer).
UX Podcast: While in Lisbon, I had the pleasure of doing a joint podcast interview jointly with Abby Covert, hosted by the nice folks at UX Podcast.
