Publishing for profit in a new information age
Show me the technology - and the money!
That's the broad and exciting theme for this year's annual DPA conference on October 23rd at Brighton's Grand Hotel. Everywhere the pace of change is accelerating. Technology, software, techniques and service providers come and go at bewildering speed.
The Conference will review the best new ideas to give data providers a
commercial edge, look at what new kids on the block have to offer, and provide
practical instruction in skills of the online age.
A clear business focus is reflected in sessions dealing with pricing, release
of public sector information, and library and public sector purchasing policy
- must-attend stuff for all publishers.
Key sessions include:
- Digital directions - speakers explain how to exploit micro-formats, the
mobile phone, access and entitlement software, and social networks in B2B
environments
- The class of '08 - New arrivals like People4Business and Xbridge say how
they got started, outline business models, and where they go next
