Following visitor feedback the show and conference have been combined with more exhibition space.
Pira hopes to attract 600 visitors, up over 50% on last year.
Rather than a single one-day conference running alongside the exhibition and costing around 400 per delegate, there will be three seminar sessions per day at the three-day event, with the 49 entrance fee allowing entrance to all nine sessions.
As well as the sessions planned and organised by Pira, there will also be seminars from exhibitors.
The scope of the show has been enlarged to cover topics that interact with MIS, such as workflow management and accounting systems.
The entrance price includes a visitor pack with Pira-produced information on MIS.
Total exhibitors have been upped to 16 from last years 11, with all space bar three shell schemes already booked for the event, which takes place from 9-11 March 2004.
All major MIS vendors, including EFI, Optichrome, Radius, Tharstern and Shuttleworth, are confirmed.
