IWR looks at the info pros toolkit

As Phil mentioned in his post yesterday it’s inevitable for a business journalist to spend much of their professional life trawling endless exhibition halls and attending facsimile conference venues. Last week I attended the launch of our sister show e-Publishing Innovation Forum, which although you may think I am bound to be a little biased about, I honestly thought was rather good. If you work in the field of publishing and attended, I’m sure you’ll agree there was  good material and ideas circulating around both speakers and fellow delegates. Something to chew over and start formulating your next big strategies.


So with myself and Peter at the e-Publishing innovation event, Phil at Internet World, and David out and about discovering the latest technological-buzz, we have all been networking mercilessly. It also looks set to continue, as for the next couple of days I will be blogging from the heart of Warwickshire countryside for the Perfect Information Conference.


Perfect Information are billing their event as the Information Professionals ToolKit. This conference is intended to act as an all round master-class for the info pros attending. A cursory glance through the list of attendees reads like a who’s who in the information professional world, with representatives from the financial, legal, corporate, and technological fields dominating.  After tomorrow’s opening remarks from Merger Markets Director, Hamilton Matthews, the first session of the morning will be examining the implications of outsourcing and what impacts that could mean for information professionals. Advice on developing authentic leadership will follow and should give everyone there something to think about. I'll be blogging on what is being said and how it relates to you. Keep checking back for further updates over the next two days.
