Access Lab 2022 programme announced
We're excited to unveil the details of our annual Access Lab event! Our event takes place online on Tuesday 22 March 2022, from 13:00 – 18:00 GMT.
About Access Lab 2022
This year’s event theme is ‘Enabling the future – managing resources post-pandemic'. We're hosting our event virtually for the third year in a row. Plus it's free to attend! We'll bring together experts from sectors including education and research, healthcare, government, charity, publishing and commercial.
Access Lab has gained a reputation for showcasing debate and discussion on key industry issues affecting the global publishing and library communities.
We are expecting attendees from all over the world to join us online, particularly now that the event is free to attend. This removes a barrier to access which is at the core of how we operate as an organization.
Our commercial director Jon Bentley will deliver the opening keynote and outline the future of identity with Jisc's Lifelong Learning Identity project.
Commenting on the event programme he said:
“Access Lab has become a permanent fixture in the information industry calendar. We're very much looking forward to the 2022 edition.
“We're expecting attendees from all over the world to join us online. Making the event free to attend removes a barrier to access which is at the core of how we operate as an organization.
“We're honored to provide a platform where people can share their views, gain industry insights and topics affecting our ever-evolving sector.
“The pandemic brought about drastic change over the last few years. Conference speakers will discuss the challenges we now face and how to prepare for a post-pandemic world. We will showcase session formats from previous years which we know our delegates have found useful.”
