WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Previous conferences have attracted computer scientists, strategists, librarians, digital library researchers, government information providers, publishers, and content specialists from a broad cross-section of sectors and disciplines. Typically, there is an equal mix of university and industry attendees.
Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands, is a small city by European standards (population 750.000) but one of the most charming and delightful towns of Europe. It possesses the largest historical inner city of Europe, with beautiful monumental buildings and an extensive web of canals. The city can easily be explored on foot: museums, theatres, shopping streets, monuments, open air markets and most other features of interest are generally within walking distance of one another. The city is famous for its 17th century canals: a boat trip along the canals is a special experience. Amsterdam is one of the leading cultural centers of Europe, with a high concentration of famous museums, including the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House. Other cultural attractions include the Diamantslijperijen (diamond cutting establishments) and the Rembrandt House.
