2011 annual meeting: listen to speakers and (in some cases) view their presentations:
Keynote presentation: What’s new in the EU?, Alex Warleigh-Lack, Brunel University audio (34 mins) and PowerPoint
Developments in EU information, Ian Thomson, EIA President audio (58 mins) and PowerPoint
Common Access to EU information, Peter Schmitz, Publications Office audio (32 mins) and PowerPoint
EUR-Lex, Michael Duero, EUR-Lex audio (33 mins)
EurActiv, Julian Oliver, EurActiv audio (20 mins) and PowerPoint

NB audio files have been roughly edited, usually to remove material at the start/finish of presentations; some loss of quality is obvious in places and is due to a speaker's position in relation to the digital voice recorder.
