Is there really bluesky behind all those clouds?

January 28th at 2 PM Eastern

Hosted by Christian Jacobs & Abby Covert

Get ready for a deep dive into how the web might radically change in 2025. The AT Protocol powering Bluesky isn't just another social network - it's a fresh take on how the entire social internet could work. Join us to explore what this means for how we organize, share, and make sense of information online.

We'll unpack the promises and pitfalls of this new approach to social media, looking beyond the hype to understand what's really possible. Whether you're an IA practitioner, a curious technologist, or someone who cares about the future of online spaces, this discussion will help you understand what's coming and why it matters. No nerd credentials required.

If you have been looking for the plain language explanation of what all the Bluesky hype is about, this is the session for you.

Key topics we'll explore:

• How the AT Protocol rethinks the building blocks of social media
• What federation and "bring your own algorithm" really mean for users
• Why information architects should pay attention to these changes
• What could go right (and wrong) as this rolls out
• How this might reshape online communities and information spaces
