World IA Day 2026

World Information Architecture Day is a one-day annual celebration hosted by the Information Architecture Institute and held in dozens of locations across the globe. Our celebration in Des Moines will be the 8th World IA Day held here.
We are a community of like-minded professionals and enthusiasts who share the common goal of practicing, learning, teaching, and shaping the future of information architecture and user experience. We share our thoughts, ideas, and work within an open and welcoming environment. Everyone is welcome and our celebrations are always accessible to all.

World IA Day Des Moines will be held in Meredith Hall at Drake University. It is accessible within the city by car or public transit (several DART Local Routes stop immediately near the venue) and is a short hop off of Interstate 235.
