"More devices are coming online every day, creating and accessing ever more information. IA is how we make sense of it."

At Hail we're serious about promoting and crafting good Information Architecture (IA). It's not enough to just produce well designed and readable pieces of content, there's also an art and science behind how all the pieces fit together to create easily navigated and related collections.

What is World IA Day?

World IA Day is a one-day, annual celebration focused on the practice and education of Information Architecture.

Our celebration brings together a diverse community including information architects, user experience designers, content strategists, product managers, developers, scholars, and students. We come together to talk about and shape the future of Information Architecture. Because of the ubiquitous nature of information, we hear stories of information architecture not just practiced by specialists, but by people holding all sorts of titles, coming from all walks of life. We celebrate these type of stories. This year, we celebrate on February 20th, 2016. Our theme is "Information Everywhere, Architects Everywhere".

We're constantly looking to improve the IA of Hail's software and publications and recently updated our Yearbook publication style to make it even easier and more engaging to get around and find articles of interest from hundreds of content items.
