Bookings are going well but we have a few places left. The programme for this event has been specially tailored to deliver real value for archivists and those involved in records management and preservation, with a parallel session in the afternoon to provide a focus on issues of special relevance. The Executive Briefing will take place in Manchester on Tuesday 28 April 2009. The programme has been developed by Tim Padfield, Chair of LACA: The Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance.
The draft programme with confirmed speakers is below. The discounted rate for Society of Archivists and CILIP members for this event is £195 plus vat.
