The first day focusses on early career researchers, with a programme including a selection of workshops designed to hone skills in information management research. The second day comprises a series of invited and contributed papers and posters with a broad appeal across the sector. There will be excellent networking opportunities throughout both days. Confirmed speakers Danny Budzak (London Legacy Development Corporation), Andrew Jack (Financial Times), Christine Borgman (UCLA) and Stewart Robinson (Loughborough University). Presentation topics include Social Media, Embedded Intelligence, Information Security, From Big Data to Big Impact, Information Behaviour and Knowledge Management.

He began during the pre-history of the internet when he built community databases in libraries using videotext running on Unix. He was one of the first local authority web editors and won a New Statesman New Media Award for an online local democracy project. He was a founder member of Newham Online, an innovative and integrated web and people project in east London. He has specialised in developing information architectures, including the classification used by many public sector websites, metadata and creating information systems which people can actually understand and use. As part of his work with e-Government Local Standards Body he developed an information governance toolkit and worked on a number of research projects with Newcastle University on how organisations were managing information governance at a practical level. His interests are in how people appropriate technologies, and what the social and cultural impact of them are. He has a quantum approach to all of this and is both a technophobe and technophile at the same time, and remains fascinated and infuriated by technologies and information systems in equal measure. However, he is intrigued by the development of big data, smart data and the internet of things, but wonders how one opts out of them. In his spare time he reads a lot of books, always paper, with hardback covers, and has recently become involved in a project to record medieval graffiti in churches. Andrew Jack, Financial Times Andrew Jack has worked as a journalist for the Financial Times since 1990. He runs the curated content team which picks the best news and analysis from the FT and the rest of the web. He was previously deputy editor of the analysis section, pharmaceuticals correspondent, Moscow bureau chief, Paris correspondent, financial correspondent, general reporter and corporate reporter. He is author of the books Inside Putin’s Russia and The French Exception as well as numerous specialist reports, written for the BMJ and the Lancet, and been interviewed on the BBC and other media outlets. Christine Borgman, University of California (UCLA) Christine Borgman's research and teaching span information retrieval, human-computer interaction, information seeking and use, scholarly communication, and bibliometrics. Since the latter 1990s, these themes have converged in the study of data and data practices, exploring how observations, models, artefacts, and software become data; how these practices vary by individual and by discipline; and how these findings can be employed in the design of data collection, data management, data archiving, and science policy. Stewart Robinson, Loughborough University Stewart is Professor of Management Science and Associate Dean Research at Loughborough University, School of Business and Economics. Previously employed in simulation consultancy, he supported the use of simulation in companies throughout Europe and the rest of the world. He is author/co-author of six books on simulation. His research focuses on the practice of simulation model development and use. Key areas of interest are conceptual modelling, model validation, output analysis and alternative simulation methods (discrete-event, system dynamics and agent based). Stewart is co-founder of the Journal of Simulation and President of the Operational Research Society. We hope you are able to join us.
