This deck is a training presentation for the 2017 IA Summit session on editing wikipedia. The session was a working edit-a-thon and the deck was presented as a guide for attendees to access as needed. Slide 2 of this deck has links to the event dashboard and a list of diversity groups at Wikipedia. I also gave a talk at this conference on diversity and inclusion programs at Wikipedia and referenced a number of active user groups related to supporting diversity in Wikipedia. Attendees at the edit-a-thon were encouraged to either work on information architecture related content selected in the event dashboard, or a diversity project of their choice. Much of the content in this deck is from the Art + Feminism training guide.
Presentation on the role of information architects in improving diversity and inclusion of underrepresented topics in Wikipedia, given at the 2017 Information Architecture Summit in Vancouver on March 25, 2017.
Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia; however, fair representation of notable, but underrepresented people and topics remains a major concern. In response, the Wikimedia Foundation has supported many grassroots efforts including Women in Red, Art+Feminism, Wiki Loves Pride, Black Lunch Table and AfroCROWD, among others, to improve discovery of these topics.
This presentation offered an overview of current efforts to diversify the information available on Wikipedia. Learn how we can use our Information Architecture skills and Wikimedia tools to improve the findability and representation of valuable, but missing information, and start contributing to the topics you care about.

This was a talk given at IA Summit 2017 in Vancouver, BC by Jenny Benevento, Gio Fernandez-Kincade, and Jill Fruchter.
Etsy is a marketplace where people around the world connect, both online and offline, to make, sell and buy unique goods. Etsy is also a tech company that invests in the craft of coding and data-driven product development as a strategic priority. Etsy has employed AI and machine learning to tackle personalization, recommendations, image understanding, item similarity, search relevance, spelling correction, and many other tasks. We’ll talk through several examples of how Etsy leverages data, where it’s excelled, and where this hammer hasn’t quite hit the nail on the head.
We will be asking ourselves hard questions, recognizing the limitations of decisions driven purely by big data:
- Who are we satisfying? Our customers or our mathematical models?
- Are those models even an accurate reflection of the outcomes we want?
- In a dual marketplace, where complex changes depend on interactions between both sides of the market, can one metric or measure of success tell the full story?
- How do we consider the impact our models are having on our users?
- Are we even addressing real human needs and motivations in the first place?
- How do we inform and enrich AI with expert created & applied taxonomy & metadata?
'Designing for everyone is designing for no-one' is the admonition in design circles. But what do you do when you are legally or morally mandated do design for the widest possible audience? I discuss how my UX tools break down, and heuristics to go forward anyway.
The ultimate findability challenge: the decisions you make as you find your way through your career in user experience design. Here's some things to think about, much of it crowdsourced from the community.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Navigation (IA Conf 2019)Andrew Hinton
Much of what information architecture practice is expected to figure out is “the navigation.” But what if we’ve been oversimplifying the way we discuss, design, and deliver navigation — and what if that’s been the source of later pain for users and organizations for a really long time? This short talk makes the case that we’ve been conflating too many things into the rubric of “navigation”, explains how this bad habit has come to pass, and the challenges that have resulted. But fear not! We’ll also look at practical ways to overcome the problem in our own day to day work, as well as with stakeholders and team members.

Language is Infrastructure for InteractConf London 2014Andrew Hinton
I had the pleasure of speaking at Interact London in October 2014. I presented an updated version of this talk, which I originally gave at IA Summit earlier in the spring. The talk is based on content from my book, Understanding Context. You can read more about it at http://contextbook.com.
In this version, I have updated the way I'm talking about how language works as environment: instead of 'semantic affordance' I'm now calling it 'semantic function.' (Which is in keeping with how it's now being described in the book.)

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

EXPLANATIONS FOR SLIDESHARE:
1. This was presented at the IA Summit in 2008 on April 14 in Miami.
2. About 30% is based on previous presentations (by request of summit planners) but the rest is
new.
3. I uploaded this as a pdf showing both the notes and the slides; I have no idea how well
SlideShare will convert the pdf.
4. In order to read it properly, youʼll need to view it ʻfull screenʼ since the slides are nearly useless
without the notes.
5. The “>>” marks are prompts for builds that the PDF obviously doesnʼt show; please ignore the
time prompts as well.
