What’s special about the IWMW event?

In its 18 years, IWMW has provided a unique forum for members of University web management teams to share best practice, hear about new developments and discuss their relevance with peers.

IWMW participants have an opportunity to update their skills and develop their professional networks through the programme of plenary sessions and practical workshops and social events.

What’s new for IWMW 2015?

The theme for IWMW 2015 is "Beyond Digital: Transforming the Institution".
