There comes a time when acknowledgment is not just mandatory, yet also must be done publicly although itțs been almost a month. Therefore, this post is about thanking to all those who made possible World IA Day 2015 Bucharest.  I will start with R/GA Bucharest team and continue the amazing speakers who shared their knowledge and happiness for what they love:

  • SpeakersIlia Uvarov (Creative Director, R/GA London), Mark Lloyd-Ruck (Experience Design Director, R/GA London), Ștefan Iarca (Country Head Romania, Possible), Adrian Iacomi (Project Manager & UX Specialist, Cactus Ideas), Alecsandru Grigoriu (Design Lead, Grapefruit), Ciprian Boiciuc (UX Designer, Grapefruit) and Dan Niculae (CEO & Digital Product Strategist, Panacle)

Special and extra thanks go to:

  • Raluca Băilescu (Managing Partner, MakeSense) and her amazing ladies who made this event so special
  • Andra Zaharia, World IA Day 2015 Bucharest’s happy presenter.
  • Răzvan Mircea, Luminița Țibuleac and Marius Meleșteu @ Strauss Romania for sharing both calming and energizing gifts!

Last, yet not least important as he is not just Romania’s first astronaut, but also one of the most wonderful, kind and inspiring man I have ever met: General Dorin Prunariu. THANK you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing talk on happiness your get when you dream big and dare to make it happen.

WIAD Bucharest's poster - credits goes to Alecsandru Grigoriu @Grapefruit.

"Romania was the first CEE country to join the global effort to promote informational architecture, from the first edition of WIAD in 2012. We started on this road than by taking in consideration the Romanian context and added themes both relevant and needed, related to user experience and digital content. Continuing in this direction, I trust this year’s edition will be the most successful until now. February 21st will bring together both themes and case studies never presented in public, won projects of some of the most sought for awards in the industry, international speakers, Romanian digital professionals with big projects and a community of people with a passion for this domain."
