2–3 April 2009 : Greenwich, London
The Information Design Association in the UK hosted the IDC 2009 conference at the University of Greenwich, London.
This year's conference offered an exciting variety of case-studies from design practitioners and their customers, reports from researchers, and thought-provoking reflections on the principles behind what information designers and communicators do. Some of the early reactions from those attending indicate that it may have been the most successful Information Design Conferences for quite some while.
Topics included:
- Wayfinding and signing
- Interaction design
- Health information
- Instructions and explanations
- Designing online learning environments
- Design models, theories and techniques
- Information design history
As in IDC 2007, the conference setting was the Restoration grandeur of the University of Greenwich in London, in buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren. We also organised a convivial conference dinner in the historic Trafalgar Tavern, overlooking the Thames.
In the coming weeks and months, this Web site will be transformed into a repository for the outputs from the conference. Good-quality audio recordings were made of the lectures, and we are collecting in the slide sets from speakers, and other assets suchy as papers and extended abstracts.
