The most appropriate immediate response to this front page is happy surprise – I expect this sort of design is not only charming, but is functionally brilliant. It demonstrates what the course readings have claimed as the goal of good information architecture in terms of its easy understandability and impressively broad linking for practical usefulness. All aspects of the 2010 conference are clearly linked from one place (and with a remarkable lack of words that somehow still communicate effectively!), including podcasts of the main presentations as well as links to the entire conference content for those interested in going one level deeper. In addition, this site manages to include links to all of the social networking tools (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) and use other common technologies (Google Calendar, Slideshare, podcasts) without overwhelming the visitor. Also, the links through the conference content to http://www.boxesandarrows.com has provided me with another IA resource I am eager to explore.
