About
the Speakers
Peter Morville, the primary speaker, will be assisted
by three additional expert instructors who have
hands-on, practical experience in designing and
implementing web-based information systems in the
UK, Australia, the U.S., and Europe. As a result
of close collaboration among the speakers in shaping
the courses, the Information Architecture conference
curriculum offers a tightly focused learning environment
and practical instruction on how to create well-designed
information systems.
