Information Professionals have to be highly innovative if they are to support their organisations in delivering effective e-information services. This major UKeiG event brings together experienced practitioners in many fields of e-information to share and discuss issues on innovating and improving delivery of e-information services. Delegate involvement will be key with opportunities to discuss future issues, share experiences and formulate practical, often innovative, solutions to emphasise the pivotal role of information professionals in driving, supporting and demonstrating effective information management.

The UKeiG Annual General Meeting of UKeiG will also be held during the conference.
