Well, several free speeches actually. At least they are if you register and come to Birmingham… Insight – A Library Conference for All Insight is a free two day conference for anyone interested and involved in the future of libraries. Being UK-based we’ve set it close to our home in Birmingham.
The programme has some great names, headed up with a keynote by Euan Semple. Other include:
- Tony Hey, Microsoft – eResearch and Digital Scholarship
- Nicole Harris Senior Services Transition Manager, JISC
- Richard Cameron CiteULike

Doing great stuff like this is why so many of us are at Talis. This is going to be a great conference.
