Unlike other events in the field, the National Online Meeting breaks new ground each year, setting industry standards and rules, unveiling new products and services, and evoking discussion—both practical and theoretical. The meeting monitors the trends year after year to keep information professionals abreast of the latest developments in content delivery and the impact of technology on the world of information. With the constant changes in the information industry, this tried and true forum provides an ideal platform for serious information users to come together to share ideas.
The National Online Meeting provides something for everyone at all levels. For our old and valued friends, the National Online Meeting promises a wealth of presentations covering both traditional and new areas of interest; for the newcomer, the range of stimulating sessions and events offered by the program will serve as the most cost-effective method of learning, establishing new contacts, and reviewing the dynamic information scene.
Focus on Content
The National Online Meeting is different from other meetings
because of its focus on information content rather than on information
technology alone. This is why the conference and exhibits remain
relevant after 19 years. It doesn't really matter whether the delivery
vehicle is online services, CD-ROM, or the Internet: The emphasis is
to present products and services that offer solid and reliable content
to the user. At the National Online Meeting, it's the content that
counts above all else.
