An exclusive presentation of BIC's new Best Practice Guidelines to help all those seeking to integrate their LMS and RFID systems is one highlight of the 2008 conference programme.The guidelines are being extensively researched to highlight how librarians can achieve maximum efficiency and profitability, and every delegate will receive a personal copy.

Another exclusive will be a specially-commissioned CILIP report on International RFID Trends, which is being complied by an independent consultant for the conference. Once again copies will be distributed to delegates on the day. This follows the RFID Implementation Reports delivered at the last two annual events.

The final few speakers are currently being acquired for the programme. Full details will be published on the event's website at www.cilip.org.uk/rfid2008 shortly, and in a Delegate Brochure due out in the first week of September.

Latest suppliers to confirm their sponsorship of the conference are DS, who will once present an Internet Cafe. They join 3M United Kingdom, Intellident and 2CQR.
