This conference includes a good array of independent and vendor-based speakers on document and knowledge management technology - and is aimed at the construction industry user. Vendors include 4Projects, Asite, Bentley Systems, Causeway, Cereno and Docte Consulting. The event is very competitively priced (just £79.95) and is intended to help delegates learn about different solutions in the market place. As a independent consultant and sector analyst, Paul Wilkinson will be presenting on the current and future state of the collaboration market. Web-based construction collaboration technologies first appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, and Paul has been monitoring and writing about the market ever since. He has seen the sector expand from the dot.com boom and bust days of the early 2000s, through the mid-century boom period, and then through the recent recession. He will talk about the changing nature of the collaboration market, and about some of the new technology trends that vendors will be facing as they continue the "extranet evolution" through the second decade of the 21st century.
