Conferences

ASLIB Knowledge & Information Strategy Summit (AKISS), 5-6 December 2013, The British Library, London, United Kingdom
The ASLIB Knowledge & Information Strategy Summit (AKISS) will bring together researchers and practitioners in order to deliver solutions to the key challenges in Information, Knowledge and Records Management. The summit will facilitate open discussion and increase the level of collaboration between research and practice so that research demonstrably makes a significant contribution to the development of practice and vice versa. It will focus on collaboration to achieve results. AKISS will be fully interactive. The Summit will not follow a traditional conference format. As well as setting the agenda, you will be able to participate and engage in a range of workshops, panel sessions, open debates and share your own challenges and solutions. AKISS will focus on outputs as well as inputs. Significant discussions will lead to a summary white paper that will capture current thinking to shape industry best-practice, and influence policy and decision-makers.
