The Parallel Session booking form is now available. Delegates can choose two parallel sessions from the 18 available. [2006-04-24]

Details of the dates of the parallel sessions were released. [2005-04-17]

The online booking form for the parallel workshop sessions is now available. [2005-06-03]

The official closing date for bookings for the parallel session was Wednesday 15 June 2005. [2005-06-15]

The JISC Service and Vendor Presentations session will be an open session, and not restricted just to registered delegates. Feel free to mention this session to your colleagues.

Information on an optional session on impact analysis and evaluation of previous Institutional Web Management Workshops is now available. This session will also enable participants to give suggestions on next year's workshop. Bookings can be made at the workshop - and will be limited to 20 delegates per session.

Workshop delegates may wish to arrange their own Birds of a Feather (BoF) session. We hope that the WiFi network will help delegates to find others with similar interests. [2005-07-04]

The slides used in the "Lies, Damn Lies and Web Statistics", "WHS WEB S IT NEWY? - Including Mobile Phone Users in the Loop" and "How to Find a Needle in the Haystack" parallel sessions and the report from the South East regional group on CMSs are now available. [2005-07-13]

An audio recording in MP3 format of Stephen Emmott's talk on "Customers, Suppliers, and the Need for Partnerships" is now available. The accompanying PowerPoint file is also available, so that it should be possible to both listen to the talk and view the slides at the same time. It is left as an exercise to any motivated SMIL developer to create a SMIL presentation which automatically links the sound with the slides. [2005-07-18]

Claire Gibbons, Web Officer (Marketing and Communications), University of Bradford and Russell Allen, Project Manager (Portal and CMS), Management Information Services, University of Bradford will help delegates gain an understanding of 'organisational culture' and the effect this can have on change management and/or system implementation.

Details of plenary talks and parallel sessions are available from the IWMW 2007 Web site. A page with all details on, for printing purposes is also available. [2007-04-10]

Keith Doyle, University of Salford will facilitate this session. A small group of people are working towards setting up a peer group to share good practise and knowledge. In this session, there will be the opportunity for delegates working to develop University Intranets to share their thoughts on developments around intranets and portals. We will also discuss how the peer group could develop.

The Web is changing. It is no longer a phenomenon but has integrated itself within our culture. However for those creating Web services times are far from stable. A wide range of Web-based applications continue to be developed, such as blogs, wikis, podcasting, social networking software, RSS feeds etc. The Semantic Web is still on the cards and now we have Web 2.0, an opportunity for a more sharing, more participative Web? Is it just hype? Will these progressions make any difference to the way in which we go about our work? What does Web 2.0 mean to the Institutional Web? This panel session offered three different perspectives on the potential of Web 2.0 within learning activities - the library perspective, the commercial perspective and the HE/FE perspective.
