The 2005 Information Architecture (IA) Summit will cross boundaries with a
world-class program on IA theory, practice, and business.

Opening Keynote:  B.J. Fogg  www.bjfogg.com.  In a nutshell and in his own
words, about his Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford: I direct research
and design at the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab. Our overall goal is to
create insight into interactive technologies designed to change people's
attitudes and behaviors. Our current projects include online credibility,
mobile persuasion (influencing people through mobile phones, PDAs, etc.),
and operant conditioning via computing systems.
