Join us for World IA Day — our annual collab with Government Digital Service (GDS)! 🥼👑

This year is about AI x IA — so the design of understanding, meaning and wayfinding in the age of co-intelligence with machines.

We have an epic lineup with rockstars and expert practitioners from across UX. However, do note that this Research Thing isn't focused on pure/applied user research.
