Abstract
We can characterise the SIG as exhibiting increasing impact and influence, while showing reduced membership.
While the conferences we run and the research we publish are increasingly relevant to the community (seen by increasing conference attendance and therefore revenue, and increasing digital library downloads, again increasing revenue) we can also see a continued and slight decline in membership - which we need to address.
In short SIGWEB has successfully expanded its range of conference sponsorships, is working hard on membership and volunteer development and benefits, and is financially healthy with a solid leadership.
