e-Access is only a month away and will be the best e-Access conference to date.The committee arranging it have brought together a stellar group of speakers.

In one day you will hear from:

• Ed Vaizey, Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, who should update us on the Government’s progress since his keynote at e-access ’10

In between these plenary sessions will be a host of workshops and seminars covering both business and technology issues for the beginner, intermediate and expert attendee. A few that particularly caught my eye:
