ICIC 2014 - The Meeting
ICIC is the International Conference on Trends for Scientific Information Professionals.
26th ICIC International Conference for the Information Community
For those in the sci-tech world, sharing best practices, networking and evaluating trends have become matters of considerable
importance, and the annual ICIC Meeting & Exhibition is the significant forum for this, attracting over 160 attendees from the
main sci-tech companies and information, service or software providers.
Started in 1989...
These exciting and highly respected annual conferences, that started in Montreux in 1989 and were subsequently held in
Annecy, Nîmes, Barcelona, Nice, Vienna and Berlin have always provided a barometer as to the strengths and frailties of the
world of sci-tech and patent information.
The conference lasts for two and a half days and features approximately 24 formal presentations, panels on topical matters, all
interspersed with short new product information presentations. All sessions are plenary. The conference normally begins with a

25 stands is integrated within the conference. Attendance at these meetings is highly international, with no one nationality
predominating. The 2014 ICIC conference is organised by Dr Haxel Congress and Event Management.
Subject Areas for the 2014 Programme
The traditional focus of the ICIC programmes is subjects of interest to information professionals in a scientific or
technical environment. As in previous years, this year‘s programme contains a number of presentations examining aspects
of patent information retrieval, including drug discovery; patent information presents many challenges and is thus an excellent

2015 II-SDV Meeting
Nice, 19-20 April 2015
Call for Offers of Presentations
Exhibition, and Workshops
Offers of presentations should include an informative title, a short, descriptive abstract as to what will be covered, plus a
short biography of the proposed speaker. News of entirely new products, or beta versions of substantial upgrades to existing
products, may be of interest to meeting attendees. Presentations accepted will be expected to make real contributions to the
field of new trends, mainly in scientific, technical, business, patent and information searching, analysis, visualisation, and data
mining, or in furthering the understanding of the meeting participants in the general search and intelligence tools and mining
areas. All presentations will be in full sessions; there are no breakout or parallel sessions at this meeting. The conference
language will be English.
Those presenting will be given one free registration to the two-day conference (one registration per presentation). Speaker
expense reimbursement will not normally be offered.
Please send offers by email to Christoph Haxel at Dr. Haxel CEM GmbH (c@haxel.com)
Offers will be considered at the time of submission, but not if received after 31st October, 2014.
Presentations should emphasise new trends in tools for intelligence, search, mining and visualization research
and technology, and directly related areas
Some theme areas of particular interest
for the 2015 Meeting are:
• Joint presentations by a user with a vendor concerning new software implementation.
• New tools for competitive intelligence.
• Developments in search engines, including personalization, recommendation engines, collaborative filtering.
• New visualization tools and mapping.
• New tools for analysing or manipulating big data, including news analysis.
• New data and text mining tools.
• Advances in text searching and analysis (such as patent, techno-economic and news searching), mining, mapping and
analysis.
• User identification and testing of new information tools.
• Training and adaptation for new tools.
There will be a limited number of exhibition spaces in the main conference area (table-top).
Contact the organisers early, since places are limited. All exhibitors will be given a short 6 minute „product presentation“ slot
during the main conference sessions.
The organisers are interested in featuring one (or maximum two) post-conference workshops, following the conference
programme. Workshops should be in subject areas relevant to those attending this meeting, and should be offered by
experienced workshop presenters. For an initial discussion, those interested in giving a workshop should contact c@haxel.com
