Intranets Forum dates for your diary

The UKeiG Intranets Forum has a number of events planned for the rest of the year. If you would like to attend please contact Janet Corcoran j.m.corcoran@imperial.ac.uk.

Thursday September 25 2-5pm
A drop-in session will take place at Imperial College London Library. A number of members will demonstrate their intranets in small groups allowing for informal discussion and sharing of ideas. This will be a good opportunity to get a glimpse of some rarely seen corporate intranets.

Friday 12 December 2.30-4.30pm
The final forum of the year will take place outside London at the Environment Agency in Bristol. Members of the project team will share their experience of launching a new intranet and discuss some recent projects.

Details about the meetings will be advertised on The UKeiG Intranets Forum mailing list which you can join at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/UKEIG-INTRANETS-FORUM.html . The list and the Forum are a membership benefit and attendees must be UKeiG members.
