ICIC 2016 - The Meeting
ICIC is the International Conference on Trends for Scientific Information Professionals.
28th 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 130 attendees from the
main sci-tech companies and information, service or software providers. It will be a venue where attendees will learn about new
ways to work with disseminate scientific and patent information.
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 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 reception
and Welcome Dinner on the first evening to enable attendees to begin to network with each other. Lunches are taken at the
conference venue, and breaks are designed to facilitate networking and interaction. A focused exhibition of approximately
20 stands is integrated within the conference. Attendance at these meetings is highly international, with no one nationality
predominating. The 2016 ICIC conference is organised by Dr Haxel Congress and Event Management.
Subject Areas for the 2016 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
test-bed when it comes to information technology. The ICIC meeting‘s roots in chemical information also ensure that that area
features prominently; chemical information was one of the first fields to attract modern information technologies back at the end
of the twentieth century and the very beginning of the twentyfirst.

7. Why should you attend
Who should attend the ICIC conference?
The ICIC meeting is of importance for all professionals involved in the information world, be they workers or managers in
information departments, information application developers, or patent specialists. The fact that the conference has always
attracted an enthusiastic audience every year since 1989 testifies to its long-term success as an international focal point for
professionals in the information domain.
Why should you attend?
• A three-day (with workshops) concentration on one clearly defined subject area enables you to improve and hone your skills
and to examine possible new ideas. Attending the presentations, and interacting with the speakers, will update you with the
best practices and technologies at the moment.
• You will be amongst colleagues who confront similar challenges to those you face and you can benefit from each others‘
experiences. Interaction with the expert speakers and with specialists in the exhibition will provide you with a fresh source of
facts and ideas. You will network with other professionals from leading international corporations and research centres in the
field of professional information, and information technology.
• Social networking via electronic media such as Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter enables you to interact with large numbers
of people in your subject area. But face-to-face contact such as you will find at the ICIC “family” meeting, including the many
meals and receptions taken together, remains unrivalled when it comes to exploring ideas informally and evaluating the
experiences and views of others.
• The knowledge of best practice for finding, analysing and understanding the contents of information such as that found in
patents or in business news is the principal way to anticipate and understand what your organisation‘s competitors are doing
or may be planning to do.
• Increasingly in the modern world, hard work is the key to success. But unless hard work is complemented by superior
skills and professional know-how, hard work alone will not enable companies to survive and thrive. You need to take every
opportunity to enhance your professionalism, and this focused information meeting provides such an opportunity. You can
then take the new knowledge you have acquired back to your colleagues in the office. You will become an increasingly
credible partner for your managers and will be involved in many of their decisions.
