IA Cocktail Hour is the main event organised by the Canberra IA Community.

Held on the 4th Thursday of every month, the Cocktail Hour is an informal training and networking opportunity for anyone working in the field of information architecture, information design or user experience.

Each Cocktail Hour begins at 5:30pm. They typically involve two speakers: one discussing a Method and another discussing a Case Study. The Cocktail Hour usually ends around 7:00pm with those who are keen heading out for a bite to eat.

IA Cocktail Hours are proudly sponsored by SMSMT.
