Expert-led topical workshops include copyright, marketing, equalities and increasingly important impact and evaluation. 'Future Trends' is a new strand aimed at Heads of Service and decision makers, anticipating key changes to support planning and preparation. High level seminars look at service design, managing information, literacy, learning and using data.
