Book a place and win a laptop at CILIP's second Wi-Fi conference
One delegate will leave CILIP's second Wi-Fi in Libraries Conference in London on 13 March with their own WiFi enabled laptop. All paying delegates will get the chance to win a Hewlett Packard NX6325 computer, which is being donated by sponsor RegenerateIT.
More than 65 attendees have already registered for the conference at the QEII Conference Centre in Westminster. They will hear an expert speaker panel discuss Getting full value from your investment in Wi-Fi. The programme will focus on the impact, challenges and potential of wireless broadband in public and academic libraries.
CILIP has teamed with Civic Conferences to host this special event, which builds on the sell-out success of the inaugural conference in 2005. This attracted more than 100 delegates who rated it 95% Good to Excellent. As places for this year's event are limited, immediate booking is strongly advised.
Major Wi-Fi suppliers sponsoring the event include SirsiDynix, Bluesocket, ICAM Systems, Telindus, Trapeze Smart Mobile and Regenerate IT. There will be opportunities to see the latest technology in the refreshment breaks and during Conference Reception. Also supporting the conference is the MLA, whose Chief Executive Chris Batt will provide a Keynote Presentation.
Wi-Fi in Libraries 2007 is aimed at Chiefs of Library Services in public and academic libraries, Directors of Information Management and all those with responsibility for or influence over the strategic development, procurement, purchase, installation and use of broadband wireless in public, academic and corporate libraries.
