Question ID: 521555
I would like a list of all the conferences on Outsourcing, Offshoring,
and Online Work between May 2005 and December 2006.  I would like the
dates, location, and url for each.  It would be helpful if the list
were in chronological order.  It would be helpful also if you included
a one or two sentences for each indicating the type of audience and
level (e.g. worker, manager, executive) that the conference seems to
target.  Moast important however is to have a pretty complete list.

Hello craigk-ga,

Researchers are somewhat leery of trying to answer questions for "all"
of anything since you can never be sure that you've gotten "all." In
addition, having done similar searches in the past, I know that many
conferences for more than twelve months in the future will not have
the information you're looking for available yet.

Please review the following guidelines and then let me know what you
will accept as a satisfactory answer. Thanks.

I would be happy to get a list of 20 conferences.
If conferences after May 2006 are not available, please look for
conferences in June - December 2005 that are likely to repeat (i.e.
they are annual conferences) around the same time frame in 2006.

Best wishes for your project.

Regulatory Requirements, Compliance & Emerging Standards in
Outsourcing and Shared Services
London, UK
5 - 6 July 2005

The FSA, in its 2004 Financial Risk Outlook, highlights the growing
trend for financial institutions to turn to outsourcing and
off-shoring as a means of reducing cost. Being a paper intensive
industry, this sector has been finding economies of scale in
outsourcing many of their business processes, but at the same time,
this sector, perhaps more than any other, needs to be aware of the
impact of new regulatory issues. It is a truism that you can't
outsource a problem; in this context, you cannot outsource your
regulatory obligations.

Knowledge Sharing for Success in Outsourcing 
London, UK 
7 July 2005

When you outsource, you often need to share data, technology,
procedures and other materials. However, without successfully sharing
knowledge, knowhow, best practice and lessons learnt, the costs that
are saved by outsourcing can be soon overcome by the costs of poor
practice and repeated mistakes. In some organisations, knowledge is
not shared well in open plan offices where people sit and work close
to each other. How can they possibly share their know-how well with
people on the other side of the world, in a different time zone and
often speaking a different language?

ASTD Outsourcing Learning Conference: Trends and Strategies 
Arlington, Virginia
October 18-19, 2005

Several recent research reports cite outsourcing learning as a growing
practice in our field. A few organizations are outsourcing the entire
learning function, while many others are strategically determining
which functions are best outsourced and which should be kept in-house.
As a result of this outsourcing trend, learning managers and
executives need to understand outtasking, selective outsourcing, and
comprehensive outsourcing, and where their organizations might reap
benefits on the continuum. They also need to understand the supplier
landscape and be prepared to make good decisions and recommendations
to top management. This ASTD conference has been developed to assist
learning managers with their outsourcing considerations.  Conference
presenters represent many perspectives: the outsourcing buyers,
outsourcing service providers, and independent analysts.
