The Information Design Association

The Information Design Association (IDA) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the field of information design. Information design involves creating clear, effective ways to communicate complex information—such as instructions, diagrams, websites, or signage—so that people can easily understand and use it. The IDA provides resources, networking opportunities, and standards for practitioners, researchers, and students. Its goal is to improve how information is presented across a variety of industries, ensuring that it is accessible, accurate, and user-friendly, ultimately helping people make informed decisions and navigate their environments more effectively.
