\n“Conversation is kin
 g. Content is just something to talk about.” – Cory Doctorow
\n
\nHow c
 an design address the increasing demand for collaborative work, meaningful 
 conversation and social connection? In this presentation, Andrew will explo
 re how “Community of Practice” is more than just a 90s knowledge-manage
 ment buzz-phrase. He will argue that it is an important model for understan
 ding group behavior – and one that is becoming crucial to designing in th
 e age of Wikipedia, MySpace and YouTube.
\n
\nAndrew will provide an essent
 ial understanding of "communities of practice" and will look at information
  architecture as a handy example. He will also examine how the concept help
 s designers in planning for a variety of collaborative environments – fro
 m intranets and medical forums to multiplayer games.
