This is a final reminder to you to book a place at the ISKO-UK July conference, “Knowledge Organization - Pushing the Boundaries”, while there are still  a few remaining places. This year we are very pleased that UKeIG has partnered ISKO UK in putting together a practice-oriented session of case studies looking at how KO and KM can work together to assist knowledge sharing within the organization.  See the action-packed programme at <http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/programme.htm> .

This conference aims to explore the boundaries between distinct areas where knowledge organization is applied, challenging them and advancing our thinking into new territory. It will be the third biennial conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO. Practitioners as well as theoreticians are invited to attend and participate, along with consultants, researchers, teachers and students. There will be a mix of short and longer presentations, as well as a display of posters. The papers submitted will be peer-reviewed and published electronically on this website, together with slides and audio recordings.

More details, including the provisional programme, can be found on the conference website at <http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/index.htm>. 34 Presentations are scheduled, including keynote addresses from leading lights Patrick Lambe and UKeIGMartin White, as well as six posters. The programme includes demonstrations from our generous sponsors PoolParty and Smartlogic, showing how their products are adapted to support evolving needs.

Registration fees for the two-day event on 8-9 July are still the same as for our 2011 conference, just 180 pounds (full price) or 150 pounds (ISKO and UKeIG members).
