IxDA

The Interaction Design Association, commonly known as IxDA, is a global non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the discipline and practice of Interaction Design. Founded in 2003, IxDA serves as a central hub for professionals, academics, and students interested in the creation of interactive digital products and services.

The organization's mission is to improve the human experience by advancing the practice, education, and community of interaction design. IxDA achieves this through a variety of initiatives, including organizing local chapters, hosting conferences and events, and providing resources for professional development. Local IxDA chapters, found in cities worldwide, offer networking opportunities, workshops, and lectures, fostering a sense of community among practitioners in specific regions.

IxDA is perhaps best known for its flagship event, Interaction, a major international conference that brings together leading thinkers and practitioners in the field to share knowledge, discuss emerging trends, and explore the future of interaction design. The organization also publishes articles, case studies, and research, contributing to the growing body of knowledge in interaction design. Membership in IxDA is open to anyone interested in the field, offering access to exclusive content and networking opportunities. IxDA plays a significant role in shaping the discourse and professional standards within the interaction design community.
