| 9th European Conference on e-Government Westminster Business School, University of Westminster, London, UK 29-30 June 2009 Conference Chair: Panos Hahamis, Westminster Business School, London, UK Programme Chair: Dan Remenyi, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland Keynote Speaker: John Suffolk, Her Majesty’s Government CIO, London, UK Stephen Jenner, UK Government advisor on IT Portfolio & Benefits Management, London, UK “Realising value from eGovernment investments” I am very pleased to be hosting the 9th Annual ECEG Conference at Westminster Business School, University of Westminster, London in June 2009. Over the years, the European Conference on e-Government (ECEG) has become the main arena for critical discussion of the latest research in the rapidly evolving field of e-government and e-governance. Westminster Business School (WBS) is an integral aspect of the busy life of the capital. As one of the several Schools which make up the well established University of Westminster (founded in 1838), WBS has been delivering business and management programmes in the heart of London since the 1930's. Over a third of the School’s 2,000-plus full-time students come from outside the UK. In addition, WBS hosts hundreds of visiting students each year on joint degree programmes or on exchange schemes, and maintains active teaching and research links with some 60 leading overseas universities. The School has a strong tradition within London of continuing professional development (CPD) and executive education for those already working in this vibrant city. The words of Samuel Johnson are as valid today as they were in 1777, “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." Summer is the perfect time to visit England. We hope that you will be able to join us at ECEG 2009 and we look forward to welcoming you to London - truly the crossroads of the world. |  Panos Hahamis Conference Chair | | | Your contacts for this conference are: Important dates | Abstract submission deadline: | 8 December 2008 | Now closed | | Notification of abstract acceptance: | 15 December 2008 | Completed | | Final copy of full paper due for review: | 26 January 2009 | Completed | | Notification of paper acceptance (with any requested changes): | 6 April 2009 | Completed | | Earlybird registration closes: | 20 April 2009 | Now closed | | Final paper submission: | 4 May 2009 | In process | | Final author registration date: | 25 May 2009 | Now closed | Registration news Earlybird registrations are available until 20 April 2009.
