The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), UK, has announced that the JISC annual conference in Liverpool is now open for registration with a packed programme on the theme of 'financial challenges, digital opportunities'. The conference, scheduled for March 14 - 15, 2011, will focus on how digital technologies can bring cost and efficiency savings to universities and colleges.
Vice chancellor of the University of Bristol, Professor Eric Thomas, will deliver the opening keynote speech ahead of his appointment as president of UUK in August. Professor Thomas' keynote will be followed by sessions combining strategic guidance on areas like digital literacy and shared services with more hands-on advice on topics like improving research management and student assessment.
For the past nine years the JISC annual conference has been bringing expertise and knowledge to over 750 senior managers, academics, library professionals, teachers, policy makers and IT experts from across education in the UK and internationally. The 2011 programme consists of a variety of keynotes, sessions, worskshops, demonstrations and exhibition stands providing delegates with the opportunity to seek advice, guidance and inspiration to realise the potential of their existing technologies within their institutions.
Over 950 people from the UK and around the world watched the 2010 conference keynotes in London streamed live over the internet. For those following the conference online in 2011, there'll be the added chance to interact live via the Twitter feed and live microblogging, as well as the usual opportunity to see the keynote speaker and selected sessions.
