Invitation to Tender - annual conference research
UKSG wishes to appoint a highly experienced individual or team to carry out a research project to examine the positioning of the UKSG conference within the current landscape of similar events; to review stakeholder perceptions of the current UKSG conference offer and to make recommendations about the positioning, organisation and development of future UKSG conferences.
UKSG’s strategic vision commits the organisation to “connecting the knowledge community”. In particular, this involves:
- representing the diversity of the global knowledge community;
- bringing together different voices and perspectives;
- providing a community of practice for professional development, exchanging ideas and sharing expertise, solutions and best practice;
- creating a cross-sectoral space to enable understanding of each other’s values, perspectives and goals;
- acting as a catalyst for initiatives that benefit and develop our community.
The UKSG conference is a key mechanism for achieving this vision. This commissioned research should help us to understand how the current conference offer is perceived by stakeholders, how it fits into the wider landscape of conferences within the knowledge community and how future conferences can optimise their benefit to UKSG members and the wider knowledge community.
