IA Institute Networks

Networking Guide

We have created a networking guide to help people interested in the field of IA and IAI members answer questions about...

Who's an IA?
What's behind local groups?
How do IAs network and collaborate?
What initiatives are currently running?
How can I join in the initiatives?
What's the workflow of the translation initiative for example?
How do existing Tools and platforms support me in network and collaboration?

In addition to our IA Institute supported Local Groups, we have compiled a list of over 1000 active information architecture, information science and user experience groups all over the globe. Our list contains organizations in which IAI members claim membership; however it is neither exhaustive, nor is any specific group recommended over any other in particular. Our list demonstrates the breadth of knowledge of our membership and their reach among related disciplines. Perhaps there is a group near you.

The following groups are represented in our IA Network database. If you know other groups that have local representation, email operations@iainstitute.org:
