Lista, 

giro dal sito notando che i giorni sono veramente pochi (chiusura 17
maggio 2009), quindi è il momento di sbrigarsi ad inviare contributi:

The Fifth European Information Architecture Summit’s focus is “Beyond
Structure.”

That’s because websites have moved to a new level. Any random page can
be accessed from Google. Pages themselves may consist of information
from many sources. And event the concept of a “page” is changing thanks
to new backend technologies. In other words, we’ve moved beyond the
traditional sitemap and into a new and exciting era of web development.

The objective of the event is to bring together a number of disciplines
and practitioner communities by providing a stimulating environment for
debate and an opportunity for establishing cooperation.

If you are using techniques from related disciplines in your day-to day
work or researching the latest ways to connect people and content, we
would like to hear from you. 

We are open to contributions from people with solid and relevant ideas,
including areas that may be considered ancillary or outside of
Information Architecture. If selected, we simply ask that you put in the
time required to create a solid and professional presentation for the
conference attendees. 

We encourage submissions by students, developers and designers. We are
looking for work of a specialised nature, work concerning new features,
design elements, methods or processes, controversial topics, and work in
progress. 

We are especially interested in receiving submissions from speakers in
our field who have not presented at conferences in the past, including
academics, professionals in related fields and information architects
who have not yet had the opportunity to share their knowledge. 

We want to invigorate our conference with new thoughts. If you have a
solid idea and proposal, but aren't an expert speaker, we can help. Our
planning committee has experienced authors and presenters who can give a
hand in fine-tuning your ideas and presentations. 

How do you know if you have an idea worth pursuing? Imagine that you
travelled to Amsterdam to attend the conference and sat in on your
presentation? Would it hold your attention? Would it give you new focus
or insight that you could apply to your work? Does it provide fresh
perspective to what you think? If so, great. Go ahead and send along
your proposal idea. Don't be shy...
