connections’, the overarching theme of this conference will be 
‘Exploring our digital shadow’.

The first day focusses on early career researchers, with a programme 
including a selection of workshops designed to hone skills in 
information management research. The second day comprises a series of 
invited and contributed papers and posters with a broad appeal across 
the sector. There will be excellent networking opportunities throughout 
both days.

*Biographies of invited speakers*

*/Danny Budzak, London Legacy Development Corporation/*

*/Andrew Jack, Financial Times/*

Andrew Jack has worked as a journalist for the Financial Times since 
1990. He runs the curated content team which picks the best news and 
analysis from the FT and the rest of the web. He was previously deputy 
editor of the analysis section, pharmaceuticals correspondent, Moscow 
bureau chief, Paris correspondent, financial correspondent, general 
reporter and corporate reporter. He is author of the books /Inside 
Putin’s Russia/ and /The French Exception/ as well as numerous 
specialist reports, written for the BMJ and the Lancet, and been 
interviewed on the BBC and other media outlets.

*/Christine Borgman, University of California (UCLA)/*

Christine Borgman's research and teaching span information retrieval, 
human-computer interaction, information seeking and use, scholarly 
communication, and bibliometrics. Since the latter 1990s, these themes 
have converged in the study of data and data practices, exploring how 
observations, models, artefacts, and software become data; how these 
practices vary by individual and by discipline; and how these findings 
can be employed in the design of data collection, data management, data 
archiving, and science policy.

*/Stewart Robinson, Loughborough University/*

Stewart is Professor of Management Science and Associate Dean Research 
at Loughborough University, School of Business and Economics. Previously 
employed in simulation consultancy, he supported the use of simulation 
in companies throughout Europe and the rest of the world. He is 
author/co-author of six books on simulation. His research focuses on the 
practice of simulation model development and use. Key areas of interest 
are conceptual modelling, model validation, output analysis and 
alternative simulation methods (discrete-event, system dynamics and 
agent based). Stewart is co-founder of the Journal of Simulation and 
President of the Operational Research Society.

We hope you are able to join us.
