What did you like most about the conference?
- All organisational matters were just excellent!
- The networking opportunity.
- Highly focussed content.
- It was very useful to be at the conference, I got the latest information
- I met important people from the information industry, lunches were great
- Invited speakers and their presentations, and also the exhibition
- Welcome party and the opportunity to meet data providers at the exhibition
- Wide variety of presentations, topics viewed from different perspectives - solution provider, client, theoretical approach, etc.
- Good-quality translation
What did you like least about the conference, in what ways could this conference be improved?
- More business oriented audience.
- I was not dissatisfied at all. It would be great to get more information about various information resources for practical use.
- Conference proceedings or printed slides could have been available before the conference (e.g. by the registration desk).
- Some presentations were too general.
- I would expect more presentations focused on real experience in information use in organisations/institutions
Which topic / speaker and why would you recommend for the next year?
- Vavassori Carla - very useful and comprehensive information for our students (perfect tips for their future career).
- Probably someone from the SCIP management, competitive intelligence was broadly presented at the conference and it seemed to be very interesting for the participants.
- How to gain in-depth analysis and short-term market outlooks on various industries (forecasts would be also great) - what is the best place to find this information
- Vitto Giannella - it is very interesting to know where is EU going (talking about integration of sources) and what are it's goals
- I'm not sure about the speaker's personality; the topic which deserves more attention is what is the value of external research to the companies including samples how such research is used.
