The Public Sector Information (PSI) Alliance has announced that the Annual Conference with the theme: From Regulation to Action will take place on Wednesday 16th June 2010 at the Residence Palace, Brussels.

The PSI Alliance has been organizing annual conferences since 2008, with the aim of gathering the members of the Alliance to discuss and exchange knowledge of the opportunities and challenges of the re-use of PSI in Member States across Europe and to agree a strategy going forward. This year, the annual conference, to exchange good practice, will take place on Wednesday 16th June 2010 at the Residence Palace, in Brussels.

The PSI Alliance was established in order to encourage the public sector to maintain a trading environment that is fair and equitable, in particular in relation to the licensing and re-use of public sector information (PSI). It is composed by private sector companies and associations who are committed to working with PSI holders towards the maintenance and development of a vibrant, information-driven EU economy that ultimately works to the benefit of the public sector, private sector and the end consumer.

Speakers at the Annual Conference include, among others: 

• Javier Hernández-Ros, Head of Unit, Access to Information, European Commission
• Gustaf Johnssen, Senior Advisor, Swedish Ministry of Finance
• Michael Fanning, CEO Online Consultants International GmbH
• Rolf Nordqvist, Chairman of the PSI Alliance.
