The University Software Licensing Community (USLC), a CAUDIT Community of Practice, invites you to be a part of the 6th Software Licensing and Asset Management (SLAM) conference.

​

The theme for 2018 is Realising your SAM Value and with a community of specialists concentrating on software asset management, the conference will focus on sharing knowledge and experiences in terms of the various ways in which we can obtain value from our SAM processes and solutions.

The conference will showcase University initiatives and innovative approaches to licensing solutions suitable for today’s academic environment of research, teaching and administration as we deal with the increasing challenges of SAM.
