ICIC is the International Conference on Trends for Scientific Information Professionals. 25th ICIC International Conference for the Information Community For those in the sci-tech world, sharing best practices, networking and evaluating trends have become matters of considerable importance, and the annual ICIC Meeting & Exhibition is the significant forum for this, attracting over 200 attendees from the main sci-tech companies and information, service or software providers. Started in 1989 ... These exciting and highly respected annual conferences, that started in Montreux in 1989 and were subsequently held in Annecy, Nîmes, Barcelona, Nice, Vienna and Berlin have always provided a barometer as to the strengths and frailties of the world of sci-tech and patent information. The conference lasts for two and a half days and features approximately 24 formal presentations, panels on topical matters, all interspersed with short new product information presentations. All sessions are plenary. The conference normally begins with a reception and Welcome Dinner on the first evening to enable attendees to begin to network with each other. Lunches are taken at the conference venue, and breaks are designed to facilitate networking and interaction. A focused exhibition of approximately 25 stands is integrated within the conference. Attendance at these meetings is highly international, with no one nationality predominating. The 2013 ICIC conference is organised by Dr Haxel Congress and Event Management.

1. ICIC 2013 - The Meeting
25th ICIC International Conference
for the Information Community
For those in the sci-tech world, sharing best practices,
networking and evaluating trends have become matters
of considerable importance, and the annual ICIC Meeting
& Exhibition is the significant forum for this, attracting
over 200 attendees from the main sci-tech companies and
information, service or software providers.
Subject Areas
for the 2013 Programme
The traditional focus of the ICIC programmes is subjects of
interest to information professionals in a scientific or
technical environment. As in previous years, this year‘s
programme contains a number of presentations examining
aspects of patent information retrieval, including drug
discovery; patent information presents many challenges and
is thus an excellent test-bed when it comes to information
technology. The ICIC meeting‘s roots in chemical information
also ensure that that area features prominently; chemical
information was one of the first fields to attract modern
information technologies back at the end of the nineteenth
century and the very beginning of the twentieth.
