#WIAD2021 – A digital-first World IA Day<\/h1>\n

In previous years, World IA Day events followed a decentralized grassroots model. For WIAD21, this model will be adjusted in order to provide some global and\/or regional coordination. This change is needed more than ever before as WIAD21 will be a digital-first<\/strong>\u00a0event.<\/p>\n

#Curiosty – such a generous and intriguing theme! We cannot wait to see the stories and business cases they will share. Los Angeles, Boston, Barcelona, Sofia, Moscow, Zurich, Manila and New Delhi are just some of the 19 participating locations for #WIAD21.<\/p>\n

Every year a global theme is chosen to give all the participating locations a direction on information architecture to keep their events aligned with the mission and vision for World IA Day.<\/p>\n
