JISC Conference 2008 - fully subscribed!

well, it seems that everyone is mad for it this year and we have had to close registrations for the annual conference already and still a month to go…numbers well over 750!  we have also had no problem selling exhibition stands this year and again..we have a full house already. lots of new faces in the exhibition hall this year which is great and quite a few publishers have come back out of the woodwork! work on enabling the live social networking platform underway, enabling attendees to network before, during and after and also non-attendees to see whats happening live including live video-streaming of keynotes, twitter streams and it goes on! it also seems that more and more non-academics are interested in coming along to JISC, traditionally we have kept them at arms length but when you have the likes of Cicso, Coutts and Unilever knocking on the door asking to come, then that only has to be a good thing? Decision taken this year to let them come, to use as an opportunity to inform them about JISC and the sector as they may well become involved in information solutions in the future….
