The IA Summit 2008 starts this weekend in Miami, Florida - are any Catalyze members going to be there?

If so, we'd love to hear you impressions firsthand.   And uploads of any presentations would be fantastic.  This conference is usually pretty good about recording and posting the presentations, and I will try to find them in the next week or so (unless someone beats me to it).

As an FYI, here is some information on the Summit including the URL:

About the Summit

The IA Summit is the premier gathering place for those responsible for the structural design of shared information environments; those who dabble or dive into the art and science of organizing and labeling information to support usability and findability; and anyone interested in the community of practice that brings principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.

2008 Theme: Experiencing Information

The 2008 theme of “Experiencing Information” shifts the focus back to users. A user experience exists only to allow people to “do things” (in the broadest sense ... buying books, sharing photos with friends, looking something up on wikipedia, etc).

What dimensions of information do users typically experience while “doing things”, and how can we design information environments that best support these users and activities?

Hi, Tom! I will be attending, and I'll be happy to share anything I find that may be of interest to the Catalyze community!

The weather was great in Miami. The summit was good too, though they need to improve on the mid-morning tea!
