“The Next Generation Information Management“

A DGI-event in co-operation with P-D-R (Pharma Documentation Ring) and PAID (Pharma Working Group Information & Documentation) at Frankfurt Bookfair 2015

The world around us is changing rapidly. We see an ever growing number of new technologies and methods to search, analyse, integrate and save information. Mobile access to data is an imperative. Nevertheless, the task of information managers remains the same: enable easy access to information for users. For information professionals this means they need a clear strategy and the flexibility to adapt to new requirements and the environment.

On October 16, 2015 the DGI will be hosting a two hour event at the Frankfurt Bookfair. Short sessions will look at the future of Information Management. What will be the state of the industry five years from now? Will there be books or journals? Will there be Information Managers or will we be replaced by systems or even robots?

„Speed Networking“ will offer information professionals the opportunity to meet publishers and service providers on an informal base. The event will be rounded up by 5-minute pitches by vendors to present innovative and trend-setting products.

Learning about new and innovative products at the Bookfair often falls prey to busy calendars. The 20 to 30 minute sessions are an opportunity for information managers and professionals to hear about trends and interact with colleagues.

The event will be in English and is kindly sponsored by RightsDirect.
