Online Information Conference 2008

The 2007 sell-out conference attracted 900 delegates from 48 countries, providing a forum dedicated to learning, debate, professional development, technology reviews and assessments, expert discussion as well as case-study presentations and the sharing of research results and opinion.

 

The predictions from the "gurus" were clear.  2008 promised to be an exciting but turbulent year.  There would be aggressive consolidation in the traditional vendor market place balanced by handsome returns on web 2.0 information investments. The semantic web would finally deliver on its promise, precipitating a shake out in the search market and radical changes in the world of enterprise content management.  For information professionals the world would never be the same as end user content and self service took hold.

Some of our expert panels predicted even greater information innovation and relished the challenges that would be unleashed as traditional organisational boundaries dissolved under the Web 2.0 pressure.

 

So how did this predictions pan out? Come and find out at Online Information 2008 and discover what is in store for your organisation in 2009!  Our programme gets to the heart of the issues with three strong tracks -

• Web 2.0 breakthroughs, consolidation and pay back
• The challenges of information organisation and retrieval in a semantic world
• Information professionals - surviving and thriving the information world implosion
