Brighton 2010 - Risks and Opportunities
Risks and Opportunities: Managing information in difficult times
BIALL 40th Annual Study Conference & Exhibition
10th – 12th June, Brighton Centre, Brighton
About the 2010 Conference
In a highly stressed economic climate, it is critical that legal information professionals grasp the opportunities which arise from the myriad of problems presented by the uncertain economy: that is, to be creative and imaginative in managing all resources, be they hard copy, electronic or human resources.
Legal information professionals are being asked to do this while suffering the classic symptoms of recession:
- greatly reduced budgets,
- low morale among staff,
- the requirement to continually justify the existence of legal information units,
the drive to add value to services with no extra cash to fund initiatives.
- Change management - increasing your capability skills and remit in times of change;
- Effective strategies to reduce stress and increase job satisfaction;
- Making the right investment in human resources - recruitment and selection;
- The Legal Services Act: The practical implications for legal and information professionals;
- Emerging alternative models for managing information resources in law firms;
- Outsourcing, co-sourcing and offshoring;
- The art of communications - practical interpersonal and communication skills;
- Managing online library spend: The use of electronic resource management systems;
- Traditionally the Conference offers sessions relevant to all sectors of the profession and for 2010 BIALL will also offer bespoke sessions for senior level information professionals;
- Our exhibition space at the Brighton Centre will also afford us an opportunity to provide product demonstrations on behalf of a range of our exhibitors.
Brighton 2010 promises to be an exciting, vibrant and relevant Conference for all legal information professionals. In addition to the main programme, exhibition and product demonstrations there will be ample opportunity for networking with your professional colleagues and a chance to relax and enjoy social events including the annual dinner sponsored by Sweet & Maxwell which will take place at the DeVere Grand Hotel and the presentation of awards. The Halsbury Awards sponsored by Lexis Nexis will take place at the Thistle Hotel on the Thursday evening of the Conference.
