COBISS CONFERENCE (19 - 20 November 2014)

After a temporary break, the Institute of Information Science (IZUM) in Maribor continued with the successful organisation of the traditional international COBISS conferences. The COBISS 2014 conference took place on 19 and 20 November 2014 at the Habakuk Congress Centre and offered up several interesting topics. The interesting speakers provided a range of compelling challenges.

Following the example of previous conferences, the current topics were covered on the first day, whereas the second day was intended for specific contentual and technological topics. The presentation slides of almost all of the contributions are available on this website.

Over 250 external participants from more than ten countries attended the conference in person. During the conference, there were many opportunities to get to know each other, strengthen both professional and personal connections and exchange experiences; the traditional evening event was also not left forgotten.
