London Info International 2017 is scheduled to take place in just one week. With delegates and visitors attending from all over the world here is a summary of just some of the things that can be found at the event, to be held from December 5-6, 2017.
The event will feature the best of scholarly, research and professional publishing, tools, technologies and service providers. Open Conference Stream is open to all visitors, not just paid conference attendees, and will run on both days. This is new for 2017 and includes sessions on Rights, Counter, Copyright, Text and Data Mining, Scientific Research and Education, Content and Technologies.
Showfloor presentations were hugely successful in 2016. Building on that, sessions for this year include Digital transformation, Managing online content costs, Information portals, Video publishing, and Discovery in the research process. Attendees will also get an opportunity to hear from Lean Library - the LII Disruptor zone winner 2017.
Scheduled Networking is new for 2017 and is proving highly popular. There will be a 1hr session on each day where delegates and visitors will be given the opportunity to spend a few minutes with organisations of their choice to exchange business cards and have a brief discussion which can be extended on their stand or another meeting set up.
Clarivate Business Lounge is a dedicated business lounge providing an opportunity to meet with industry colleagues and enjoy a coffee and cake on Clarivate.
Copyright The Card Game will take place on December 5 and is open to all visitors. Learn about copyright through this game. During this workshop participants will play an abridged version of the game, as well as get ideas about how to use the resource in their own teaching and professional development.
Attendees may download the LII event app to plan their visit and for up to date news on-site. They can also use the app to book meetings, sessions programmes, Exhibitors list, floorplan, reminders and more!
