ICIC 2012 - The Meeting
Hotel Andel's Berlin
14 - 17 October 2012
ICIC is the International Conference on Trends for Scientific Information Professionals.
ICIC International Conference for the Information Community
For
those in the sci-tech world, sharing best practices, networking and
evaluating trends have become matters of considerable importance, and
the annual ICIC Meeting & Exhibition is the significant forum for this, attracting over 200 attendees from the main sci-tech companies and information, service or software providers.
Subject Areas for the 2012 Programme
The traditional focus of the ICIC programmes is subjects of interest to information professionals in a scientific or technical environment.
As in previous years, this year's programme contains a number of
presentations examining aspects of patent information retrieval,
including drug discovery; patent information presents many challenges
and is thus an excellent test-bed when it comes to information
technology. The ICIC meeting's roots in chemical information also ensure
that that area features prominently; chemical information was one of
the first fields to attract modern information technologies back at the
end of the nineteenth century and the very beginning of the twentieth.
Who should attend the ICIC conference?
The
ICIC meeting is of importance for all professionals involved in the
information world, be they workers or managers in information
departments, information application developers, or patent specialists.
The fact that the conference has always attracted an enthusiastic
audience every year since 1989 testifies to its long-term success as an
international focal point for professionals in the information domain.
Why should you attend?
•
A three-day (with workshops) concentration on one clearly defined
subject area enables you to improve and hone your skills and to examine
possible new ideas. Attending the presentations, and interacting with
the speakers, will update you with the best practices and technologies
at the moment.
•
You will be amongst colleagues who confront similar challenges to those
you face and you can benefit from each others’ experiences. Interaction
with the expert speakers and with specialists in the exhibition will
provide you with a fresh source of facts and ideas. You will network
with other professionals from leading international corporations and
research centres in the field of professional information, and
information technology.
•
Social networking via electronic media such as Facebook, Linked-In and
Twitter enables you to interact with large numbers of people in your
subject area. But face-to-face contact such as you will find at the ICIC
“family” meeting, including the many meals and receptions taken
together, remains unrivalled when it comes to exploring ideas informally
and evaluating the experiences and views of others.
•
The knowledge of best practice for finding, analysing and understanding
the contents of information such as that found in patents or in
business news is the principal way to anticipate and understand what
your organisation’s competitors are doing or may be planning to do.
•
Increasingly in the modern world, hard work is the key to success. But
unless hard work is complemented by superior skills and professional
know-how, hard work alone will not enable companies to survive and
thrive. You need to take every opportunity to enhance your
professionalism, and this focused information meeting provides such an
opportunity. You can then take the new knowledge you have acquired back
to your colleagues in the office. You will become an increasingly
credible partner for your managers and will be involved in many of their
decisions.
