JISC RSC YH Exchange News

Delegates can now register online for the 2009 JISC Conference taking place in Edinburgh on 24th March.

It is a one-day event of interest to all those in post 16 and higher education and research involved in planning for and supporting the use of ICT, including:

• Senior managers and those responsible for developing and implementing policy and strategy

• Staff who play a role in supporting the use of ICT in educational organisations, including practitioners

• Teachers and researchers with an interest in the use of ICT

The event is free of charge to attend, however priority is strictly given to delegates from within the academic community.

Opening drinks reception

For the first time ever, the JISC Conference will open its doors a day early. The exhibition will open the evening before the main day of the conference with a drinks reception open to delegates. All delegates attending the conference are invited to come along, network with other delegates, get a chance to see who is exhibiting and have a drink! We look forward to seeing you there.

1-2-1 networking

The JISC Conference consistently offers great networking opportunities, but due to the number of attendees and tightly packed programme, it is not always easy to network effectively on the day. A newly introduced Day Planner Service available via the JISC conference website assists delegates with setting up 1-2-1 networking meetings in a dedicated networking space at the venue. Exhibitors will also be able to benefit from this tool by putting up company profiles and accepting meetings with delegates on their stands.
