The innovation game: breaking the rules - #UKSGforum16

This year the Forum's focus is on innovation.  Not all invention comes out of the ‘light bulb’ moment, often innovation is born out of periods of adversity where bending or breaking our preconceived ideas is the only way forward.  In such environments, new business models, new workflows, new offers, new collaborations can form to overcome such barriers and UKSG Forum delegates want to hear about them.

What's the football connection?

It was on the site of the Grand Connaught Rooms in 1863 that the Football Association was established and the rules of the game that is now played around the world were first agreed.
 
In recognition of this piece of international sporting history, UKSG Forum delegates are invited to dress in a manner that celebrates the beautiful game.
 
There will be a bottle of champagne for the delegate judged to be wearing the most suitable attire. (The referee’s decision will be final!)
