Peter Van Dijck: Organizing Global Websites

Peter Van Dijck will be giving a talk at the upcoming Euro IA Summit entitled Organizing Global Websites. He’s given us a preview of his slides.

Peter is one of the folks that knows the most about global information architecture; this presentation should be very valuable. (I’m sorry I’ll miss it — hopefully he’ll give it again at some other conference.)

The 8th International Workshop on Internationalisation of Products and Systems will be hosted from the 28th to the 30th of June in Merida, Mexico. The focus of the workshop is the globalization and localization of systems and products. Significantly, this is the first time it is held outside Europe, the US, or Canada.

I’m happy to see yet another IA/UX-related event in Latin America: “The Government of the State of Nuevo Leon and the University of Monterrey (UdeM) will be hosting the International Seminar on Usability on Accesibility for the Web on July 26 and 27. There will be keynote conferences by Lou Rosenfeld and Paulo Saavedra, two of the most renowned experts in the area.” Link

Seminar – Meaningful Design for Global Culture

The Design Management Institute is sponsoring a series of seminars that aim to “enable design, marketing, and business professionals to bridge the design and business gap and become key drivers of organizational success.”

There is one in particular that I’d really like to attend: Meaningful Design for Global Culture by Gordon Bruce. There are two sets of dates: late April in Providence, Rhode Island, and September in San Francisco. Alas, this is pretty far away from where I live, and I have no plans to travel to the US at either of these times. (It’d be great if DMI would later publish these seminars as edited podcasts!)
