## Welcome to World IA Day Columbus
This is the first year that World IA Day has been hosted in Columbus, Ohio. We celebrate Information Architecture at March 7, 2026
Our celebration brings together a diverse community of information architects, user experience designers, content creators, product managers, developers, academics, and students, all united by a shared interest in shaping the future of Information Architecture in Columbus and beyond.
Because of the ubiquitous nature of information, we hear stories of Information Architecture practiced not only by specialists, but also by people with all kinds of titles, from all walks of life. We celebrate these stories and the many ways IA shows up in real life.
This year’s event takes place on March 7th, 2026, and our theme is **“**[**Design for meaning**](https://www.information-architecture.world/worldiaday/events/world-ia-day-2026)**.”**
Are you excited to meet local leaders in the User Experience community, along with guests from outside Columbus?
**But hurry! Tickets are limited!**
