For the first time in its history, the IRSG’s annual conference (ECIR) will be followed by a special day dedicated to the interests and needs of information professionals. Industry Day 2006 will be devoted to the challenges involved in developing operational IR products and services, and aims to build bridges between information professionals in industry
and academia.
The event presents an opportunity for commercial
organisations and individuals to share their work with a wider audience, and for researchers to learn more about the problems faced by search specialists in developing practical solutions for the information search and retrieval industry.
